Unemployment Benefit Calculator
Calculate the approximate monthly payment amount, net amount, and payment duration for unemployment benefits.
Net monthly benefit = min(average gross wage of last 4 months × 0.40, gross minimum wage × 0.80) - stamp duty. Total payment = daily net benefit × number of payable days.
In the general unemployment benefit calculation, 40% of the average earnings subject to premium for the last four months is taken as a basis; the monthly benefit cannot exceed 80% of the gross minimum wage. Based on 600/900/1080 premium day tiers, a payment period of 180/240/300 days is applied. Current amounts are taken as user input.
This calculation produces approximate results for informational purposes. The right to unemployment benefit may vary depending on the reason for termination, premium days, the last 120 days condition, application date, gross minimum wage, stamp duty rate, and current legislation. For definitive information, İŞKUR and the relevant legislation should be considered.
