Methodology and sources
For each month: the social security base is capped at ₺297,270; the employee pays 14% social security and 1% unemployment insurance on that base. Income tax is computed on the cumulative annual base across the wage-income brackets, minus the exemption equal to the tax a minimum-wage earner would owe that month. Stamp duty of 0.759% applies to the part of gross pay above the minimum wage.

The Treasury incentive shown is the 2-point discount available to non-manufacturing employers in 2026; manufacturing workplaces keep a 5-point discount through 31 Dec 2026.
All premiums, employee and employer alike, are computed on the earnings base capped at the monthly ceiling; pay above the ceiling carries no premium.
