This calculator works out ihbar tazminatı, the pay owed when an open-ended employment contract is ended without the notice that Article 17 of Labour Law 4857 requires.
The notice periods. Under six months of service, 2 weeks. From six months to a year and a half, 4 weeks. From a year and a half to three years, 6 weeks. More than three years, 8 weeks. These are minimums; a contract can give more. The calculator counts service in whole months from the start date to the end of the contract and treats exactly three years as 6 weeks, since 8 weeks is for "more than three years".
The amount. The side that does not give notice pays the wage for the notice period, and Article 17 adds money and benefits measurable in money, such as regular meal and transport payments. A day's wage is a thirtieth of the monthly wage, so 8 weeks is 56 days.
A worked example. Service from 1 March 2022 to 30 September 2026 is 4 years and 7 months: 8 weeks. ₺60,000 of wage plus ₺5,000 of benefits gives ₺2,166.67 a day and ₺121,333.33 of notice pay.
Tax. Notice pay is wage for income tax, so it is taxed on the 2026 wage tariff on top of what you have already earned this year: with ₺459,000 of tax base behind it, the rate is 27%, ₺32,760.00. Stamp duty of 0.759% takes ₺920.92. No SGK premium is due, because Law 5510 leaves notice pay out of the premium base. Paid: ₺87,652.41.
Not included. Longer notice in a contract, three times the notice pay for abusive dismissal, piece-rate averaging and the minimum wage exemption. Severance pay (kıdem tazminatı) is a separate amount with its own calculator.

Article 17 of Labour Law 4857 sets 2 weeks for service under six months, 4 weeks from six months to a year and a half, 6 weeks from a year and a half to three years, and 8 weeks for more than three years. Contracts may give longer periods.
Notice pay is the gross daily wage, including regular benefits, times the days of the notice period. A day is a thirtieth of the monthly wage, so ₺65,000 a month over 8 weeks, 56 days, gives ₺121,333.33 before tax.
Income tax applies, because the Income Tax Law treats compensation paid to an employee as wage, at the bracket your 2026 earnings have reached. Stamp duty of 0.759% applies too. SGK premiums do not, since Law 5510 leaves notice pay out of the premium base.
Whichever side ends an open-ended contract without giving the notice period pays it. An employer who dismisses without notice owes the worker; a worker who quits without notice owes the employer the same amount. An employer may also pay the notice wage in advance and end the contract at once.
No. Severance pay (kıdem tazminatı) is 30 days' wage per year of service under Law 1475 and is free of income tax. Notice pay is the wage for 2 to 8 weeks under Law 4857 and is taxed. A dismissed worker can be owed both.
Notice periods longer than the law's minimum, the three-fold compensation for abusive dismissal under Article 17, averaging for piece-rate or commission pay, and the minimum wage tax exemption are not modelled. Tax follows the 2026 tariff, so the last day must fall in 2026.
