Minimum Wage Determination Commission (Asgari Ücret Tespit Komisyonu), published in Resmî Gazete (Official Gazette), 26 Dec 2025 — reported via L&E GlobalTurkey sets its statutory minimum wage (asgari ücret) as a monthly GROSS figure, not a native hourly rate. Effective 1 Jan 2026: gross TRY 33,030.00/month (net TRY 28,075.50, since the minimum wage is exempt from income and stamp tax). Official derived breakdowns: daily gross TRY 1,101, hourly gross TRY 146.80, annual gross TRY 396,360. This is a +27% increase over the 2025 rate (gross TRY 26,005.50 / net TRY 22,104.67). Statutory weekly working hours are 45. Set once per year by the tripartite Minimum Wage Determination Commission; a mid-year CPI-triggered revision is possible (precedent in 2022) — monitor Resmî Gazete in mid-2026. The single rate applies to ALL employees regardless of age, sector, or qualification — Turkey has NO separate youth/apprentice sub-minima for standard employment. Figure confirmed consistently across L&E Global, CottGroup, Mercans, Daily Sabah, and Hürriyet Daily News.
