Frequently asked questions
What is the income tax rate in Turkey?
Turkey uses a progressive tax system with five income tax brackets ranging from 15% to 40%. The first bracket (0-190,000 TRY) is taxed at 15%, and rates increase as your income rises, with the highest earners paying 40% on income above 5,300,000 TRY. The exact amount of tax you owe depends on which bracket your income falls into.
Do I have to pay social security contributions in Turkey?
Yes, employees in Turkey must contribute 14% of their gross salary to social security and an additional 1% for unemployment insurance. The good news is that both of these contributions are deductible from your taxable income, which reduces the amount of income tax you owe.
What is the maximum social security contribution I'll pay in Turkey?
Social security contributions are capped at 4,995,840 TRY per year, and unemployment insurance contributions are capped at 3,567,240 TRY per year. This means high earners won't pay these contributions on income above these thresholds, providing some relief for top earners.
How is take-home pay calculated in Turkey?
Your take-home pay is calculated by starting with your gross salary, subtracting social security contributions (14%) and unemployment insurance (1%), then subtracting the progressive income tax based on your remaining taxable income. The calculator on this page automates this process so you can see your exact net pay.
Are there regional income tax differences across Turkey?
The tax brackets and rates provided here apply nationwide in Turkey, so your income tax rate does not vary by region or city. However, you may want to consult with a local tax advisor about any location-specific deductions or credits that might apply to your situation.
