Calculations have changed for the 2027 pension increase! What will be the minimum pension?

New data has been announced regarding the January 2027 raise, which millions of retirees have been waiting for. With the announcement of October inflation, the four-month inflation table for the second half of the year emerged. While the announced figures were decisive in calculating the raise for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees, predictions about how much the minimum pension would be were also brought to the agenda again.

HOW MUCH WILL THE RETIREMENT INCREASE BE FOR JANUARY 2027?

The January raise for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees will be calculated according to the six-month inflation in the second half of 2026. According to TÜİK data, inflation was recorded as 1.78 percent in July, 1.84 percent in August, 1.84 percent in September and 2.58 percent in October.

Thus, the four-month cumulative inflation difference for retirees reached approximately 8.29 percent. However, in order to determine the exact increase rate, inflation data for November and December must also be announced.

RETIREMENT SALARY 2027 CALCULATION: HOW MUCH WILL THOSE WHO RECEIVE A SALARY OF 25 THOUSAND, 30 THOUSAND AND 40 THOUSAND TL RECEIVE?

With the four-month inflation difference calculated as 8.29 percent, the estimated amounts for the increased salaries of retirees were also revealed. If this increase is reflected in the current salaries of SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees, the new salaries will be as follows:

Current pension is 23,552 TL – 25,504 TL with an 8.29% increase

Current pension is 25,000 TL – 27,072 TL with an 8.29% increase

Current pension is 30,000 TL – 32,487 TL with an increase of 8.29%

Current pension is 35,000 TL – 37,901 TL with an 8.29% increase

Current pension is 40,000 TL – 43,316 TL with an increase of 8.29%

These amounts are only sample calculations based on four months of inflation data. The January 2027 retirement increase may change with the addition of November and December inflation. The possible legal regulation for the lowest pension will be evaluated separately from the increase calculation. The amount that retirees with low base salary will receive may vary depending on the base salary application.

WHEN WILL RETIREMENT PAYMENTS BE DECLARED?

November and December inflation data are expected to finalize the January 2027 retiree and civil servant salary increases. With the December data to be announced by TÜİK in January, the six-month inflation difference will become clear and the increase rates will be determined.

According to the four-month calculation, the raise rate for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees is 8.29 percent, and for retired civil servants and civil servants it is 6.27 percent. The final increase will be shaped after the remaining two months of inflation data.
