Methodology and sources
Your salary is stepped through each month it was in effect. The comparison line grows the starting salary by the TUIK CPI index, which is what keeping constant purchasing power would have required. The dollar view converts at each month's TCMB rate. Series run 2021-01 to 2026-07 and update monthly.
