What Turkey payroll has to calculate, withhold and file
Each item below becomes a salary rule, a bank file, or a report we test before the first live run.

Social security is administered by SGK. As of 1 January 2026 the employee pays 14% social security plus 1% unemployment insurance. Contributions are calculated on monthly earnings between TRY 33,030.00 and a ceiling of TRY 297,270.00.
- 2
The employer pays 20.75% social security plus 2% unemployment insurance, with reductions available in some cases (16.75% under certain conditions, 5% for manufacturing). The state adds 1% to unemployment insurance.

Stamp tax of 0.759% is withheld on gross salary payments, so payroll has three statutory deductions to model, not two: income tax, social security and stamp tax.
- 4
Severance (kฤฑdem tazminatฤฑ) is 30 days of the employee's last gross pay for each full year of service, payable once the employee has at least one full year of uninterrupted service, and capped by a statutory ceiling. Contract clauses that reduce or waive it are void.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.

Foreign nationals covered by their home country's social security can be exempt from Turkish contributions for up to three months, longer under a bilateral treaty. Anyone without foreign cover pays in full.

Rates, formats, thresholds and submission windows change. We configure against the rules in force at build time and confirm every figure with your accountant or tax advisor before sign-off. If a rule moves after go-live, it is a support ticket, not a rebuild. Read more on our Odoo localization service.
How we build payroll for Turkey
The delivery method behind the list above. The same four steps on a 10-user rollout and on a multi-company programme, with the depth scaled to the scope.
- 1 Rules, not hard-coded numbers. Contributions and deductions are built as Odoo salary rules with dated parameters, so a rate change is a configuration edit rather than a code release.
- 2 Employee data gets audited first. Bank details, national identifiers, start dates and contract types. Bad master data is why most payroll go-lives slip, and it is cheap to fix early.
- 3 One parallel run, minimum. We run at least one cycle alongside your current system and reconcile it line by line with your HR and finance leads before switching over.
- 4 Bank files tested with the bank. Payment files and statutory reports are generated from Odoo and put through your bank as a test batch before the first live run.
What we need from you to quote it
Bring these to the first call and you get a scoped, priced payroll plan for Turkey instead of a range.
- โ A full payslip for each contract type you run, from your current system.
- โ Your employee master file, including bank details and identifiers.
- โ The reports and files you submit today, and who you submit them to.
