Turkey severance pay calculator 2026
Enter the employment start and termination dates, then the employee's final monthly gross severance basis. The calculator counts full service years, prorates the remaining days, and automatically applies the official Turkish ceiling in force on the 2026 termination date. The result is an informational gross estimate. The qualifying reason for termination still needs review.
Enter both dates and the monthly gross basis to calculate.
Informational gross estimate only, not legal advice or a payroll statement. The termination reason, service periods to combine, and compensation items included can change the result. Net payment is not calculated. No data leaves your browser.
How this is calculated
Under Article 14 of former Labor Law No. 1475, each full service year earns 30 days of the employee's final gross wage, with additional service prorated. The calculator counts full calendar anniversaries and adds days after the last anniversary divided by 365 to the service factor.
The basis is broader than base salary. Recurring meal, travel, fuel and bonus payments, plus other regular benefits measurable in money, are included in the final monthly gross basis. One-off and irregular items need individual classification.
The amount for one service year cannot exceed the ceiling in force on the termination date. The official 2026 ceiling is TRY 64,948.77 for 1 January–30 June and TRY 73,729.87 for 1 July–31 December. Selecting the date applies the correct period.
One year is only the service-duration condition. Employer dismissal, justified employee termination, retirement, military service, marriage-related resignation and other qualifying cases require different evidence. The tool does not decide whether a termination qualifies. The Ministry states that only stamp tax is deducted from statutory severance. This page omits net pay so a future rate cannot silently go stale.
