Turkey salary increases: 2027 projections for retirees and civil servants

civil servant salaries pensioner raises inflation forecasts SSK Bağ-Kur

Calculations for January 2027 salary increases for Turkish civil servants and retirees have begun following the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye's upward revision of its year-end inflation forecast from 26% to 28%. Additionally, the Market Participants Survey indicates a year-end inflation expectation of 29.43%.

Based on these economic indicators, experts have provided several scenarios for salary adjustments. For SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees, the increase is expected to range between 8.5% and 10.5%. Specifically, a 28% year-end inflation scenario suggests an 8.7% raise, while a 29.43% scenario could result in an increase of approximately 9.91%.

Civil servants and civil servant retirees face a different calculation involving collective bargaining and inflation differences. Projections suggest a raise between 6.5% and 8%. Under a 28% inflation scenario, the increase is estimated at 6.67%, while a 29.43% inflation rate could push the raise to 7.86%. If the higher inflation scenario occurs, the lowest civil servant salary is projected to exceed 75,000 TL.
