Türkiye pension and service debt costs projected for 2027

Pensioners and civil servants in Türkiye are awaiting the determination of salary increases for January 2027, which will be based on inflation data from the second half of 2026. Various economic scenarios have been projected based on inflation forecasts from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye, the Medium-Term Program, and market participant surveys.

For SSK and Bağ-Kur pensioners, potential increase rates range from approximately 8.70% to 10.73%, depending on whether year-end inflation reaches 28% or higher. Under these scenarios, a pensioner currently receiving 30,000 TL could see their monthly income rise to between 32,610 TL and 33,219 TL. Civil servant pensions will be calculated using a combination of collective bargaining agreements and inflation differences.

Additionally, the upcoming minimum wage increase will impact the costs of service debt payments (borçlanma) for maternity, military service, and overseas work, as well as Bağ-Kur reinstatement (ihya) fees. Those wishing to utilize current rates for these payments are advised to complete their applications by December 31, 2026, to avoid the higher costs associated with the new minimum wage in 2027.
