Turkey minimum wage scenarios for 2027

Discussions regarding the 2027 minimum wage in Turkey are centering on three primary increase scenarios ahead of the Wage Determination Commission meetings in December. Based on the current net minimum wage of 28,075.50 TL, projections suggest potential increases ranging from 25% to 30%.

A 25% increase would bring the net wage to approximately 35,095 TL, while a 30% increase could raise it to roughly 36,498 TL. A third scenario, based on the year-end inflation forecast of 28.4% outlined in the Medium-Term Program, suggests a net wage of approximately 36,049 TL.

In addition to minimum wage workers, pension and civil servant adjustments are also being monitored. SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees are expected to see adjustments based on six-month inflation rates, while civil servants' increases will be determined by collective bargaining agreements and inflation differentials. The final minimum wage decision will be finalized following the commission's deliberations in December.
