Severance rests on article 14 of Law 1475. At least one full year with the same employer is required. 300 days is not enough. After a year is completed, extra days are added by dividing by 365. The amount is 30 days of dressed gross wage; it cannot exceed the ceiling.
| Period | Ceiling |
|---|---|
| 1 January–30 June 2026 | 64,948.77 TL |
| 1 July–31 December 2026 | 73,729.87 TL |
The ceiling is the highest civil-service retirement bonus in the Ministry of Treasury and Finance coefficient circulars. The ceiling on the date the contract ends is applied. Even on 200,000 TL gross, one year’s severance in July–December cannot exceed 73,729.87 TL. After stamp tax at 7.59 per mille, net is 73,170.26 TL.
Who gets it, who does not
- Employer termination without just cause creates severance.
- Worker termination for just cause, retirement, military service and a woman worker leaving within a year of marriage also create it.
- Plain resignation does not create severance.
- A worker who meets the retirement conditions except for age, and leaves with an SGK letter, gets severance.
No income tax and no SGK premium are deducted from severance. Only stamp tax is taken. The chart is not a substitute for an accountant; the employer and the court determine the termination reason.
