The rules

Eligibility: at least one year of service with the same employer, ending for a qualifying reason.
Amount: 30 days’ gross wage per year of service, pro rata. Regular benefits such as meal and transport allowances, and bonuses paid regularly, count toward the wage.
Ceiling: the wage used per year cannot exceed the ceiling on the exit date. In 2026 that is TRY 64,948.77 until 30 June and TRY 73,729.87 from 1 July.
Deductions: stamp tax only (0.759%).

Notice pay (ihbar): if the employer ends the contract without notice, it pays wages for the notice period. That is 2 weeks under 6 months’ service, 4 weeks up to 18 months, 6 weeks up to 3 years and 8 weeks after that (Labour Law 4857, Art. 17).

Examples

TRY 60,000 a month, 1 March 2022 to 28 February 2026 (4 years)

Below the first-half ceiling of TRY 64,948.77, so the full wage counts.
Gross: 4 × 60,000 = TRY 240,000. Net of stamp tax: TRY 238,178.40.

TRY 100,000 a month, 1 January 2019 to 30 September 2026 (7.75 years)

Capped at the second-half ceiling of TRY 73,729.87 per year.
Gross: TRY 571,267.71. Net of stamp tax: TRY 566,931.79.
Notice pay if no notice was given: 8 weeks, about TRY 186,667 gross.

See the Türkiye payroll guide and the net salary calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How is kıdem tazminatı calculated?

30 days' gross wage for each full year of service, pro rata for part years, after at least one year of service. The wage includes regular cash and in-kind benefits. Each year is capped at the severance ceiling in force on the exit date (Law 1475, Art. 14).

What is the kıdem tazminatı ceiling in 2026?

TRY 64,948.77 per year of service for exits from 1 January to 30 June 2026, and TRY 73,729.87 from 1 July to 31 December 2026.

Do I get severance if I resign in Türkiye?

Usually not. Severance is due on dismissal (except for just cause), retirement, compulsory military service, marriage (for women, within a year), death, or resignation for just cause such as unpaid wages.

Is severance pay taxed?

Kıdem tazminatı is exempt from income tax within the ceiling; only stamp tax (0.759%) is deducted. Notice pay (ihbar tazminatı) is taxed like wages.
