Efficient Payroll Solutions for Your Business in Turkey

Managing payroll is more than just calculating salaries; it is a complex and time-intensive administrative burden that requires constant monitoring of changing labor laws and social security regulations. Statistics show that business owners spend an average of 12 full days a year on payroll functions—time that could be better spent on generating sales, improving services, or expanding into new markets.

At Atlas Global Audit & Accounting, we provide comprehensive payroll outsourcing services that allow you to focus on your core competencies while we ensure your employees are paid accurately and on time.

Understanding Payroll Elements in Turkey

The transition from Gross to Net salary involves several statutory deductions:

Employee Deductions:

• Social Security Premium (SGK)
• Unemployment Insurance
• Income Tax (Calculated based on progressive tax brackets)
• Stamp Tax

Employer Contributions:

• Social Security Premium (Employer Share)
• Unemployment Insurance (Employer Share)

The Formula:

• Net Salary= Gross Salary – (Employee SGK Deductions + Income Tax + Stamp Tax)
