The inflation data for June, which will be announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) on July 3, will clarify the July raise for millions of retirees and civil servants. According to the Central Bank's survey of market participants, the estimated rate is at 1.61%. Based on this data, the salary increase rate for SSK and BAĞ-KUR retirees and civil servants has also been calculated.
LOWEST SALARIES
With the inflation data, the salaries of 20 million people will change. According to the Central Bank's expectations, the June inflation will be 1.61%. With this rate, a 16.94% increase is expected for SSK and BAĞ-KUR retirees, and a 15.85% increase for civil servants. The lowest retirement salary will rise to 16,901 TL, while the civil servant salary will increase to 52,543 TL.
REGULATION REQUIRED FOR THE LOWEST RETIREMENT SALARY
According to a report by Önder Yılmaz from Sabah Newspaper, the 6-month inflation for the first half of the year is expected to be at 16.94%. In this case, the lowest retirement pension, which is currently 14,469 TL, is calculated to increase by 2,432 TL to 16,901 TL. However, a legal regulation is required for this increase to come into effect. The government is expected to submit a comprehensive law proposal to the Parliament for the increase in the lowest retirement pension. The proposal is planned to be discussed in the Planning and Budget Commission immediately after the announcement of the TÜİK data and to be enacted.
16.94% INCREASE SCENARIO FOR RETIREES
If the June inflation comes as expected, SSK and BAĞ-KUR retirees will receive an increase of 16.94%. Based on this rate, some salary increases will be as follows:
- 15,000 TL salary: 17,541 TL
- 20,000 TL salary: 23,388 TL
- 25,000 TL salary: 29,235 TL
- 30,000 TL salary: 35,082 TL
With these increases, a significant improvement will be achieved in the salaries of approximately 3.7 million retirees.
DIFFERENT CALCULATION FOR CIVIL SERVANTS AND RETIRED CIVIL SERVANTS
The increase rate for civil servants and retired civil servants is determined by a different calculation method. The salary increase, which will be valid in the second half of 2025, will consist of a 5% collective bargaining increase and the total of the inflation difference.
If the June inflation is announced as 1.61%, the 6-month inflation difference will be 10.33%. When the additional 5% from the collective bargaining is added to this rate, civil servants and retired civil servants will be entitled to a cumulative increase of 15.85%. Based on this rate, the July salaries of civil servants and retired civil servants will be updated as follows:
- Lowest civil servant salary: 45,527 TL - 52,543 TL
- Lowest retired civil servant pension: 19,617 TL - 22,726 TL
