After TÜİK updated the national income data on March 2, the coefficient used in calculating retirement pensions changed. There will be an increase in the salaries of those who apply for retirement after January 1, 2025.

After the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) announced the national income data, the growth rate used in the calculation of pension payments has been updated. With this change, some pension payments will be recalculated.

COVERS THOSE RETIRING AFTER 2025

The new regulation particularly affects retirees who apply for retirement after January 1, 2025, and whose pensions are granted after this date. The salaries of those within this scope will be recalculated, and the resulting differences will be paid. Those who retired earlier will continue to receive increases based on their current salaries and will not be affected by this change.

WILL REFLECT IN APRIL

In line with the update, the additional increase rate to be reflected in salaries has been set at 1.08%. The increased pensions are expected to be deposited into accounts in April.

NO IMPACT ON THE LOWEST PENSION

For those receiving the lowest pension, which is currently at the level of 20,000 TL, this increase will not create any actual change. This is because the increase is calculated based on the base salary, so there will be no rise in the minimum pension.
