Unemployment benefit rests on article 50 of Law 4447. The daily benefit is 40% of the daily average of pensionable earnings in the last four months before termination. The monthly amount cannot exceed 80% of gross minimum wage. In 2026 that ceiling is 26,424 TL. Stamp tax at 7.59 per mille is deducted. No income tax and no SGK premium.
| Last-4-month gross average | Monthly gross | Monthly net |

| 33,030 TL | 13,212.00 TL | 13,111.72 TL |
| 55,000 TL | 22,000.00 TL | 21,833.02 TL |
| 66,060 TL and over | 26,424.00 TL | 26,223.44 TL |
How many months are paid
| Premium days in the last 3 years | Period |
|---|---|
| 600–899 days | 6 months |
| 900–1,079 days | 8 months |
| 1,080 days and over | 10 months |
No benefit is awarded under 600 premium days. Having worked under an employment contract for the last 120 days is also required. The application is to İŞKUR within 30 days of termination.
Resignation and the employer’s just-cause termination under article 25 do not, as a rule, create a right. The employer’s unjust or valid-reason termination and the worker’s just-cause termination do. İŞKUR checks the exit code.
