Transport Allowance Calculator (Turkey)
Compute the income tax exemption of a public transport card or cash transport allowance, its effect on net pay and the employer cost.
Things to keep in mind:
- Whether transport cards are subject to SGK premiums is not settled by an SGK circular; the default (subject) is conservative.
- Employer-provided shuttle services are not computed here.
- The exemption covers worked days only.
- Other incentives, carried-over SGK base, disability allowance and multiple employers are not included.

About this tool
Public transport cards, tickets or similar payment means are exempt from income tax up to 158 TL per worked day in 2026 (ITL art. 23/1-10); the excess is taxed as salary. Cash transport money has no exemption and is fully subject to income tax, stamp duty and social security.
There is no SGK circular on whether transport cards are subject to social security premiums. The tool applies the conservative treatment (subject) by default and lets you choose the “benefit in kind” view (exempt).
The payroll is computed with and without the allowance (same cumulative base, minimum wage exemption applied).
How to use
- Choose card or cash.
- Enter the daily amount and worked days (card) or the monthly cash amount.
- Choose the SGK treatment of the card.
- Enter the salary, month and incentive and press Calculate.
Notes
Premiums and taxes are rounded to the kuruş. Net effect = net with allowance − net without allowance.

No. It is salary and fully subject to income tax, stamp duty and social security.
There is no explicit rule. Some experts treat them as exempt benefits in kind; the conservative practice treats them as subject. The tool computes both.
