How your tax is calculated

Income tax starts at 15% and steps up through 20%, 27% and 35% to 40% as your annual pay grows. SGK employee contributions (pension and unemployment) take about 14% off the top. The lira bands are fixed, so pay rises push people into higher bands during the year. Your marginal rate is 40% — every additional ₺1 you earn keeps roughly ₺0.60 after tax and SGK.

10 hours of overtime a month at time-and-a-half would add about ₺15,385 to your monthly take-home.
