|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| malulluk_yaslilik_olum | Malullük, Yaşlılık ve Ölüm Sigortaları — invalidity, old-age and survivors' insurance (long-term branches) | 21 | 9 | 12 | percent | Prime esas kazanç (PEK, earnings subject to contribution) under art. 80/1(a) of Law 5510: the gross total of (1) wages earned in the month, (2) premiums, bonuses and every payment of that nature actually paid in the month, together with amounts paid by the employer for the insured into private health insurance and the individual pension system, and (3) payments made in the month under an administrative or judicial decision that are of the same character. Floor TRY 1,101.00 per day / TRY 33,030.00 per month; ceiling TRY 9,909.00 per day / TRY 297,270.00 per month for 1/1/2026–31/12/2026. | 297270 |
| THIS RATE MOVED ON 1 JANUARY 2026 AND THE MOVEMENT IS ALL ON THE EMPLOYER. 20 % → 21 %, entirely by raising the employer share 11 % → 12 %. Any engine still on 11 % understates employer cost by a full point on every employee, and the SGK's own summary table now totals 38,75 %… | |||||||

| Unchanged by Law 7566 — the 2026 package raised the long-term branch and left health alone. Türkiye's health contribution is a component of the SGK contribution, not a separate levy on a separate base as in Cyprus or Poland: same base, same floor, same ceiling, same monthly… | |||||||

| EMPLOYER-ONLY, AND THE RATE IS 2,25 %, NOT 2 %. Türkiye abolished the old risk-rated tariff (which ran from 1 % to 6,5 % by workplace hazard class) in favour of a single flat rate for all employers — so unlike most countries there is no industry loading to look up, and an engine… | |||||||
| issizlik_sigortasi | İşsizlik Sigortası — unemployment insurance | 3 | 1 | 2 | percent | The same prime esas kazanç as the SGK branches, between the same floor and ceiling.

| Collected by the SGK on the same monthly aylık prim ve hizmet belgesi as the SGK branches but legally a separate fund (İşsizlik Sigortası Fonu) under a different statute. rate_total of 3 is the PAYROLL-BORNE total; the fund's statutory total is 4 % because of the State's 1 %… | |||||||

Every value above names the official instrument it came from and the date it takes effect, and we record when we last checked it. Where a value could not be verified against its own statute we do not publish an estimate — the series is simply absent. Where a question falls outside what we hold, the API refuses and explains, free of charge, rather than returning a number that looks right.
