How much will retirees receive in a raise? Here are the figures that emerged based on 10 different scenarios.

Retirees who receive salary increases twice a year in January and July had received a 49.25% salary increase for the first 6 months of 2024. With the inflation data announced for January, February, March, April, and May, the inflation difference for 5 months was announced as 22.72. Thus, retirees have already earned a 22.72% inflation difference as of May.

ACCORDING TO THE SURVEY, 25.81%

According to the recent Central Bank Market Participants Survey, the 6-month inflation rate was calculated as 25.81%. If these calculations align with the inflation rate for June, which will be announced in July, the rate of increase that retirees will receive will be 25.81% depending on the inflation difference.

WHAT WILL THOSE RECEIVING BASE PENSION DO?

If the monthly salary of those receiving a base pension below 7,500 lira does not exceed 10,000 lira despite the increase, they will continue to benefit from the minimum retiree pension application. When the salary of a retiree with a base pension of 7,500 lira increases by 25%, their salary will reach 9,375 lira, and the remaining 625 lira needed to reach the minimum pension will be covered by the Treasury.
