Enter a gross salary; see the total cost to the employer including employer-side SGK premiums (long-term + general health insurance), short-term (workplace accident) insurance and employer unemployment insurance.
Comparison: Employee Take-Home vs. Employer Cost
This calculation is an estimate based on official 2026 employer-side SGK contribution rates (long-term insurance branches 12%, general health insurance 7.5%, short-term insurance branches averaging around 2.25% depending on workplace risk class, employer unemployment insurance share 2% — 23.75% total with no incentive) and the premium incentive rates under Law 5510 Additional Article 21 (5 points for manufacturing, 2 points for other sectors — updated from January 2026 under Law 7566). The SGK premium ceiling is applied at 7.5x the gross minimum wage (33,030.00 TL), i.e. 247,725.00 TL. The short-term insurance rate depends on your workplace's NACE risk classification; confirm your actual rate with SGK. This does not replace an official payroll run or accounting advice.
