2026 Severance Pay Ceiling (Turkey)
How Turkey’s severance ceiling caps decorated gross pay and how to estimate gross vs net.
What the 2026 ceiling is
Severance for each year of service is capped by a periodic monthly ceiling. Hesapla uses about 64,948.77 TRY for early 2026 as an informational reference. Official Ministry/Treasury notices prevail and may update mid-period.
Gross formula
Roughly: severance ≈ min(decorated monthly gross, ceiling) × years (including fractions).
Decorated gross may include regular allowances; irregular payments are disputed. “Last net × years” is wrong.
Stamp duty and net
Stamp duty is withheld from severance; income-tax treatment follows current law. Net ≈ gross severance − stamp (and any other lawful deductions). The calculator approximates; payroll and statute win.
Eligibility snapshot
Typically at least one year of service plus a qualifying termination reason. Ordinary resignation usually does not create severance. This is general information — get legal advice for a real file.
Do not mix notice pay
Notice pay is a separate head for failing notice periods and is not capped by the severance ceiling. Compute them apart with the notice-pay tool.

Practical tips
- Reference ceiling ~64,948.77 TRY for early 2026 — verify officially.
- Use decorated gross, not net salary.
- Always apply min(gross, ceiling) × years.
- Separate notice pay from severance.
- Informational — statute and payroll bind.
FAQ
What is the 2026 ceiling?
About 64,948.77 TRY per month for early 2026 on this site. Confirm official notices; figures can change by period.
If my salary exceeds the ceiling?
The monthly base in the legal formula is capped. Gross above the ceiling does not fully multiply into statutory severance (unless a contract grants more).
Is severance based on net pay?
No. Start from decorated gross, then subtract stamp duty for a net approach. Net × years is incorrect.
Does resigning always pay severance?
No. Only listed statutory cases create entitlement. Ordinary resignation usually does not — seek legal review for your facts.
Are Hesapla results court-ready?
No. Educational estimates. Disputes follow law, payroll evidence and mediation/court process.
