Gross to Net Salary Calculator (Türkiye 2026)
Enter a monthly gross salary and see the net pay for all 12 months of 2026 under Türkiye's current rules: 14% employee social security (SGK) plus 1% unemployment premium, cumulative income tax brackets from 15% to 40%, the minimum wage tax exemption and 0.759% stamp tax. Because income tax is cumulative, net pay drops as the year progresses — the table shows each month's deductions and the employer's total cost side by side. The net-to-gross mode answers the opposite question: what gross salary must be agreed so the employee receives a fixed net amount every month. Results are for information only; actual payroll may differ with bonuses, private pension deductions or personal allowances.

Frequently asked questions
How is net salary calculated from gross in Türkiye?
First 14% employee social security and 1% unemployment premium are deducted (up to the contribution ceiling). The remainder is the income tax base, taxed on a cumulative scale starting at 15%, minus the minimum wage exemption. Finally 0.759% stamp tax applies to the portion above the minimum wage. What remains is the net salary.
What are the 2026 income tax brackets for wages?
For wage income in 2026: 15% up to 190,000 TL of cumulative taxable income; 20% up to 400,000 TL; 27% up to 1,500,000 TL; 35% up to 5,300,000 TL; and 40% above that. Because the base is cumulative, the same gross salary is taxed more heavily in later months of the year.
Why does Turkish net pay decrease in the second half of the year?
Income tax uses a cumulative base: all taxable earnings since January are added up, and when the total crosses a bracket threshold the tax rate for that month rises. Many employees therefore see their net pay drop in summer or autumn even though gross pay is unchanged.
What is the minimum wage tax exemption?
Since 2022, the portion of every salary corresponding to the minimum wage is exempt from income tax and stamp tax. In 2026 (gross minimum wage 33,030 TL) that means roughly a 4,211 TL monthly income-tax reduction at the start of the year — the calculator applies it cumulatively, exactly like payroll does.
How much does an employee really cost the employer?
On top of gross salary the employer pays 21.75% social security and 2% unemployment premium — 23.75% in total without incentives, so the total cost is gross × 1.2375 (e.g. 40,874.63 TL for a minimum-wage employee in 2026). Sector-based premium discounts of 2 or 5 points may reduce this.
