What you take home, month by month
On a gross salary the tax bracket rises through the year, so the net falls. The lighter part is the bonus paid that month.

How we calculate
From gross to net, each month
- The employee social security share (14%) and unemployment insurance share (1%) come off the gross salary; they are not charged on the part above the ₺297,270 monthly ceiling.
- What remains is the month's income tax base. The base accumulates from January; the month's tax is charged at the rate of whichever bracket the running total falls into.
- From that tax, an exemption equal to the tax the minimum wage would pay in the same month is deducted.
- Stamp duty is 0.759% of the gross above the minimum wage.
- Net = gross − social security − unemployment insurance − income tax − stamp duty. The annual total then adds the meal card, health insurance and pension contribution and deducts the cost of office days.
Figures and assumptions
- Income tax: the 2026 wage tariff (15–40%), Income Tax General Communiqué No. 332. The tax base is cumulative, computed month by month.
- The minimum wage is ₺33,030 gross. The part of a wage up to the minimum wage is exempt from income tax and stamp duty.
- Employee social security share 14%, unemployment insurance 1%; ceiling ₺297,270 (nine minimum wages). Stamp duty 0.759%.
- The meal card counts at its face value including VAT, over 22 working days a month. For income tax the part above ₺300 a day excluding VAT, and for social security the part above ₺300 a day including VAT, is charged like salary. Employer-paid health insurance and pension contributions are taxed as salary, and health insurance is deducted from the tax base within the legal limit.
- A net offer pays the same amount every month; the employer covers the tax increase over the year.
- A single bonus salary is taken as paid in December, two in June and December, more every three months. You enter the cost of an office day; there is no tax exemption for remote work.
- The figures are updated every January with the new communiqué and minimum wage decision.
