Turkey Severance Pay
Eligible gross pay, service length and an early-2026 ceiling near TRY 64,948.77 shape severance. Notice pay is separate.
Service formula
Each full year generally earns one capped month of eligible gross pay, with partial months prorated. Clarify hire and termination dates first.
The severance calculator estimates this logic. Payroll, SGK records and the current ceiling notice control the official result.
Collect signed payrolls, benefit circulars and the exact termination code before debating percentages. Disputes often start from undocumented “everyone got meal money” claims rather than from the year-count itself.
Ceiling and stamp duty
The early-2026 reference ceiling is about TRY 64,948.77. Net estimates may subtract about 0.759% stamp duty. Do not confuse tax treatment with notice pay.
Eligible gross pay
Regular measurable benefits such as meal or transport allowances may enter the base; one-off bonuses usually do not. Document continuity from payroll.
Eligibility versus resignation
Not every termination qualifies. Resignation without a legally accepted reason typically does not create severance, while notice pay follows different rules.
Multiple employers and transfers
Workplace transfers and successive employers can complicate service aggregation. Evaluate each relationship carefully; seek legal advice for disputes.
