Social Security Expert İsa Karakaş evaluated the effects of the raises to be made in January 2027 on severance pay.
January 2027 forecasts for the severance pay ceiling, which plays a critical role in employees' retirement and resignation plans, have begun to become clear.
Distinction Between Base and Ceiling in Severance Pay
As the year 2027 approaches, the difference between the base and ceiling in severance pay is of great importance for employees.
Impact of Salary Levels on Severance Pay
The severance pay of those receiving the minimum wage and salaries at similar levels is directly affected by New Year raise rates.
The severance pay amounts of high-income employees are calculated based on the determined ceiling limitation.
Expert Recommendations and Date Details
Social Security Expert İsa Karakaş stated that no action should be taken before the new figures become clear.
It was pointed out that employees should carefully calculate the periodic difference between December 31 and January 1.
Expected Figures for January 2027
The severance pay ceiling, which was 73,729.87 TL in July 2026, will be updated in parallel with civil servant salary increases in January 2027.
In the strongest scenario, with an increase of around 8 percent, the ceiling amount is expected to rise to approximately 79,628 TL.
It is anticipated that the severance pay of minimum wage earners will increase depending on the increase rate of at least 30 percent in January.
