Turkish Income Tax Calculator 2020

Calculate Turkish income tax with the 2020 progressive brackets.

Calculated using 2020 Turkish income tax brackets.

How it is calculated

The tool applies the Turkish wage (ücret) income tax tariff for 2020 as a set of marginal brackets. The rates are 15% up to 22,000 TL, 20% from 22,000 to 49,000, 27% from 49,000 to 180,000, 35% from 180,000 to 600,000 and 40% above 600,000. 2020 was the first year with the 40% bracket. Only the part of your income that falls inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate: tax = Σ (income in bracket × rate).

It returns total tax, net income (income − tax), the effective rate (tax / income) and a per-bracket table. It works on one annual taxable amount, so it ignores social security premiums, the minimum-wage exemption, allowances and deductions. The non-wage tariff has different upper thresholds, and other countries use entirely different rules.

Worked example

Take an annual taxable income of 150,000 TL. The first 22,000 is taxed at 15%, which is 3,300. The next 27,000 (22,000 to 49,000) at 20% is 5,400. The remaining 101,000 (49,000 to 150,000) at 27% is 27,270. Total tax is 3,300 + 5,400 + 27,270 = 35,970.00 ₺. Net income is 114,030.00 ₺ and the effective rate is 35,970 / 150,000 = 23.98%.

Common mistakes

  • Multiplying the whole income by the top bracket rate. Only the slice above each threshold is taxed at the higher rate.
  • Entering a monthly salary. The brackets are annual, so a monthly figure lands almost entirely in the 15% band and understates the tax.
  • Entering a gross salary and expecting the result to be take-home pay; social security and other deductions come off separately.
  • Using the 2020 tool for another year or for non-wage income (rent, freelance), which use different thresholds.

About this calculator

This calculator applies Turkey's 2020 progressive income tax brackets — the rates and thresholds (15%, 20%, 27%, then 35% and 40% for the top tiers) that were in force that year — to a gross salary and shows the resulting net pay.

Accountants and payroll staff use it for historical calculations: correcting or re-checking a past year's payslip, preparing amended filings, or comparing how much take-home pay has shifted between 2020 and later tax years.
