Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 2,622 TL to pay you 12,790 TL. In other words, every time you spend 10 TL of your hard-earned money, 5.80 TL goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.5% tax rate now rises to 48.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 153,480 TL a year living in Turkey, you will be taxed 57,592 TL. That means that your net pay will be 95,888 TL per year, or 7,991 TL per month. Your average tax rate is 37.5% and your marginal tax rate is 41.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 TL in your salary will be taxed 41.76 TL, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.24 TL.
