Net to Gross Salary Calculator (Turkey)
Works out the gross salary needed to deliver a given net, and the total employer cost. Handles both fixed-gross and fixed-net contracts — they cost different amounts over a year.
Income Tax Law art. 103 · Law 5510 art. 81The gross stays the same all year. As the cumulative base grows the tax bracket rises, so the employee's net falls through the year.

Fixed gross or fixed net — the contract has to say which
If the contract fixes the gross, the employee's net falls through the year as the cumulative tax base rises. If it fixes the net, the gross has to rise to hold that net and the extra cost falls on the employer.
The two are not the same number over twelve months. Deciding which one the contract states is a commercial decision, not a formality — this calculator shows both.
Budget on annual employer cost, not monthly gross
The most common budgeting mistake we see with employers new to Turkey is multiplying the January gross by twelve. On a fixed-net contract that understates the year; on a fixed-gross contract it overstates what the employee actually receives.
Frequently asked questions
- Which option should I choose if I am not sure?
- Fixed gross is the more common arrangement in Turkey and the one most employment contracts state. Fixed net is usually agreed for senior hires who negotiated a take-home figure. If you are still negotiating, run both — the difference over a year is often larger than people expect.
- Does the result include severance provisioning?
- No. This calculator covers monthly payroll only. Severance accrues separately from the first year of service — use the severance pay calculator for that.
