Pension in Turkey for everyone

Pension in Turkey for everyone

June 17, 2022

In Turkey, a pension is accrued to everyone who works here: both citizens of the country itself and foreigners.

In order to receive a pension, two conditions must be met: reach a certain age and work officially in Turkey for about 7,000 days.

But there are certain nuances, more about them:
The retirement age begins at 58 and with 7,200 days worked for women who started work after 05/01/2008.

For men who started working after 09/08/1999, the pension begins at the age of 60 with 7,000 days worked.

And for men who started work after 05/01/2008:
A) 01/01/2036 and 12/31/2037 - 7200 days - 61 years;
B) 01/01/2038 and 12/31/2039 - 7200 and 62 years;
C) 01/01/2040 and 12/31/2041 - 7200 and 63 years;


There are different types of pension contributions:
4a - maaşlı çalışanlar (workers on wages).
4b - bağ-kur (Private entrepreneurs, those who made payments to themselves).
4c - emekli sandığı (Officials who worked for the state).

For those Turkish citizens who did not work, a pension is accrued after reaching the age of 65 in the amount of 600 TL and is paid once a month.

Please note that in Turkey, the spouse and children inherit the pension of the deceased husband/father. Provided that the daughter is not married, and the son, if he studies.
