Annual leave in Turkey

Annual leave calculator

Enter the employment start date to get the statutory annual-leave entitlement under Turkish Labor Law No. 4857, art. 53 — 14, 20, or 26 working days by seniority — and add a gross monthly salary to see the corresponding leave pay. Everything is computed locally in your browser.

Enter a start date to calculate the entitlement.

For information only, based on the statutory floors of Labor Law No. 4857. Contracts and collective agreements can grant more, and edge cases (partial years, changed workweeks) may differ. No data leaves your browser.

How this is calculated

Seniority tiers under art. 53 of Labor Law No. 4857: at least 14 working days from one to five years of service (five included), at least 20 for more than five and less than fifteen years, and at least 26 for fifteen years and more. Employees aged 18 or younger, or 50 and over, get at least 20 days regardless of tier. These are legal floors — an employment contract can grant more.

Leave pay is based on the bare gross wage (art. 57): overtime, premiums, and social benefits are excluded. The daily figure is the monthly bare gross divided by 30, and leave pay is that daily figure times the leave days. Weekly rest days and public holidays that fall inside the leave are not deducted from the entitlement (art. 56).
