About Turkey's Minimum Wage (Asgari Ücret)

Turkey's minimum wage (asgari ücret) is set by the Minimum Wage Determination Commission (Asgari Ücret Tespit Komisyonu), which meets annually. For 2025, the minimum wage was set at 22,104 TL gross per month. This represents a significant increase from 2024 levels, reflecting Turkey's high inflation environment.

The net take-home pay is calculated after deducting the employee's SGK (Social Security) contributions of 14% (9% pension + 5% health insurance) and unemployment insurance of 1%, totalling 15% deductions. Income tax of 15% then applies to the taxable base. The minimum wage worker's effective net in 2025 is approximately 18,600–19,000 TL per month, depending on the income tax calculation including the minimum wage tax exemption (asgari ücret vergi istisnası) that the government applies.

Employers pay additional SGK contributions of 20.5% and unemployment insurance of 2% on top of the gross salary, making the total employer cost approximately 26,550 TL per month for a minimum wage worker.

Yes. Turkey has a minimum wage income tax exemption (asgari ücret vergi istisnası) that effectively zeroes out the income tax for workers earning exactly the minimum wage. This policy was introduced to increase take-home pay without changing the gross rate. Workers earning above the minimum wage benefit from a partial exemption equivalent to the tax that would have been paid on the minimum wage portion of their income.
