What are the 2026 income tax brackets?

For non-wage income in 2026: 15% up to ₺190,000, 20% up to ₺400,000, 27% up to ₺1,000,000, 35% up to ₺5,300,000, and 40% above.

Does moving into a higher bracket tax all my income at that rate?

No. Each rate applies only to the slice within its range. For example, only the portion above ₺190,000 is taxed at the next rate; lower slices keep their own rates. The average burden is measured by the effective rate.

What is the effective tax rate?

The effective rate is total income tax divided by the base. It is always lower than the top (marginal) bracket rate and reflects your true average tax burden.

In short

The 2026 income tax tariff starts at 15% and rises to 40%. Tax is not computed by applying a single rate to the whole base: each bracket is taxed at its own rate, with the first bracket at 15% up to TRY 190,000.00. The third bracket's upper limit differs between employment income and other income.

How the calculation works

Step	What happens
1. Determine the tax base	Deductions and exemptions are subtracted from income to reach the taxable base.
2. Split the base across brackets	The base is divided according to the tariff thresholds, each slice remaining in its own bracket.
3. Apply each bracket's rate	The first slice is taxed at 15% and later slices at progressively higher rates. Entering a higher bracket does not increase the tax on lower slices.
4. Sum the bracket amounts	The amounts from each bracket are added to give the annual income tax; advance tax and withholdings paid during the year are then offset.

About this tool

Income tax in Turkey is calculated on a progressive (bracketed) schedule: as the base rises, higher slices are taxed at higher rates. In 2026, for non-wage income the brackets are 15% (up to ₺190,000), 20% (up to ₺400,000), 27% (up to ₺1,000,000), 35% (up to ₺5,300,000) and 40% above that.

Crucially, entering a higher bracket does not tax all your income at that rate. Each bracket applies only to the slice within its range; the ratio of total tax to base — the "effective rate" — is shown separately in the tool. That is the best measure of your actual average tax burden.

This tool estimates non-wage income tax (business, rental, self-employment income, etc.) on an annual base. For wage income the third bracket threshold differs (₺1,500,000) and the minimum-wage exemption applies. Work with your accountant for the return, deductions and exemptions.
