About this tool
Employees pay 14% SGK social security and 1% unemployment insurance on monthly pay between the minimum wage (TRY 33,030) and the TRY 297,270 cap. Income tax (15–40%) is withheld cumulatively through the year on pay after these contributions, so the rate rises in later months; the part of pay equal to the minimum wage is exempt from income and stamp tax. Stamp tax is 0.759%.
The employer pays 21.75% SGK social security without incentives (19.75% with the standard 2-point incentive, 16.75% in manufacturing with the 5-point incentive) and 2% unemployment insurance, on the same capped base.
