Turkey Income Tax Calculator (2026)

Step-by-step

1. Work out your total gross salary for the year. If your monthly gross is fixed, multiply it by 12, then add any bonuses.
2. Enter that amount in "Annual gross income (TRY)" without dots or currency symbols.
3. Click "Run". Your estimated annual tax appears in the result area.
4. Compare the figure with the cumulative income tax line on your payslip to see how close it is.

Example

An employee in Turkey with the same gross pay every month wants to know roughly how much income tax their new salary means for the year. They multiply the monthly gross by 12, enter it, and get an annual estimate. The key thing for readers outside Turkey: wage income there is taxed progressively in brackets. Not all income is taxed at the top rate; each slice is taxed at the rate of the bracket it falls into. Because Turkish payroll tracks cumulative income through the year, monthly deductions usually rise as the year goes on, and take-home pay often drops in the later months. Brackets are updated every year, so check the current thresholds with the Turkish Revenue Administration (GİB).

Things to keep in mind

• On a payslip, the tax base is gross pay minus the employee's social security (SGK) and unemployment insurance contributions. An estimate from gross alone can differ from your payslip.
• Turkey exempts the portion of wages equal to the minimum wage from income tax, which lowers the tax on your payslip. Check the current amount with official sources.
• If you also earn rental, freelance or investment income, filing rules work differently. A local tax advisor is the right person to ask.
• If you started a job mid-year, enter only the gross pay you'll actually receive that year, not a full annual salary.
