According to the first three months' inflation data, the pension raise exceeded 10 percent, and with the remaining data of the year, the raise rate is expected to approach 15 percent in July, with the minimum salary rising to approximately 23,000 TL.
Initial calculations for the retirement pension raise for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees in July have emerged. The first three months of inflation data announced by TÜİK showed that the raise rate has already exceeded 10 percent.
10.4 PERCENT INCREASE IN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS
With the inflation rates announced as 4.84 percent in January, 2.96 percent in February, and 1.94 percent in March, the raise rate for retirees for the first three months was calculated at approximately 10.4 percent.
EYES ON THE REMAINING 3 MONTHS
Inflation data for April, May, and June will be decisive for the July raise to be finalized. TÜİK is expected to announce April data on May 4, 2026, and with this data, the 4-month raise rate will become clear. Economists' expectation for April inflation is at 2.93 percent. If this rate is realized, the 4-month inflation difference is projected to reach 13.26 percent.
RAISE RATE COULD REACH 15 PERCENT
Experts state that with the data from the remaining months, the 6-month inflation difference could reach an average of 15 percent. This rate will form the basis for the raise to be applied to retirement pensions in July.
ESTIMATE OF 23 THOUSAND TL FOR THE MINIMUM PENSION
According to current projections, the minimum retirement pension, currently at 20 thousand TL, is expected to rise to approximately 23 thousand TL with the July raise, unless an additional arrangement is made.
