Workers who want to know “if I retired in 2024, how much pension would I receive?” can use the official SGK online platform to perform their calculations. To answer the common question of “how much pension will I get,” SGK has long offered online inquiry tools. In Turkey, pension calculations for the three different insurance categories can be completed within minutes using the Social Security Institution’s (SGK) digital services.
For readers who want to see the current monthly amounts after the flat increase to the minimum pension and the 2024 pension adjustments, we reviewed the 4A, 4B and 4C pension calculation details below.
If I Retired Today, How Much Would My Pension Be?
Your pension amount can be calculated through e-Devlet or SGK Online applications. Factors that determine the pension include the insurance scheme you are enrolled in, the number of paid contribution days, total insured period, age, amount of paid contributions and even gender in some cases.
Because these variables are complex and manual calculation may be inaccurate, you can use automated pension calculators on official platforms. For reference, example pension ranges by insurance entry are provided below for SSK and Bağkur categories:
Estimated pensions for someone retiring today are roughly:
| SSK (before 2000) | 12,000 – 13,000 TL |
| SSK (after 2000) | 10,000 – 12,000 TL |
| Bağkur (Self-employed) | 10,000 TL |
| Bağkur (Agriculture) | 10,000 TL |
| Pension Fund (Civil Servants) | 16,000 – 18,000 TL |
| EYT Retiree | 10,000 TL |
These averages reflect the pension increases applied in 2024. With the January adjustments, the total increase for pension recipients reached 49.25%.
The basic pension (base pension) is the amount a person is entitled to receive upon retirement. Article 19 of the Additional Provisions of Law No. 5510 states that if pension amounts fall below a specified threshold, the Treasury will cover the difference.
How Much Pension Does Someone Retiring from Bağkur Receive Today?
Pensions for Bağkur retirees vary depending on the number of contribution days. Average amounts are approximately as follows:
- Bağkur retirees with 9,000 contribution days from self-employment, company partnership or voluntary Bağkur: minimum around 10,000 TL.
- Bağkur retirees with 9,000 contribution days from self-employment, company partnership or voluntary Bağkur: minimum around 10,000 TL.
- Bağkur retirees with 5,400 contribution days from self-employment, company partnership or voluntary Bağkur: at least 10,000 TL. Those retiring from agriculture/farming after 15 years (5,400 days) similarly receive a minimum of 10,000 TL.
