Minimum wage in Turkey

The minimum wage in Turkey represents the gross amount that an employee must legally receive over a period of 30 days. The determination of the minimum wage is primarily based on a daily calculation, from which monthly and hourly rates are derived. Standard weekly working hours are set at 45, assuming an equal distribution across the other days of the week with only one day off, resulting in a daily working duration of 7 hours and 30 minutes.

Part-time employment involves working up to 30 hours per week, while full-time employment encompasses working hours from 30 up to 45 per week. Breaks taken on workdays are not added to the total working time. Legally mandated weekly leave of at least one day is obligatory, and the employee is compensated as if they work on their mandated leave day. The net minimum wage paid to the worker is calculated after deducting applicable taxes.

The minimum wage is a fundamental component of the labor market, representing the lowest threshold of implementation in employment practices. The current net minimum wage in Turkey is ₺22,104 per month, which was set on 1 January 2025.
