Disclaimer: This calculator is for planning purposes only and does not constitute tax advice. Turkish tax law is complex and your situation may involve deductions, allowances, double tax treaties, or other factors not captured here. Consult a qualified Turkish tax accountant (mali müşavir) for your specific circumstances.
Does the 20-Year Exemption apply to you?
The 20-Year Exemption only applies to qualifying individuals — not everyone who moves to Turkey. Most visitors should start with Standard Turkey Tax Rules unless they have already confirmed their eligibility.
Not sure if the exemption applies to you? Take the 60-second eligibility check before using exemption calculations.

Who May Benefit
Who could save most under the active 20-year exemption?
The active 20-year foreign income tax exemption (Law No. 7582) is most impactful for people who earn primarily outside Turkey. Illustrative annual savings based on typical income levels — not confirmed estimates.
Retirees
Foreign pension income — state and private — is among the clearest candidates for exemption. UK, German, Dutch, and US retirees receiving pensions from abroad could see their Turkish tax bill drop to zero on that income.
Typical saving: €3,000–€15,000/yr
Remote Workers
Employees of foreign companies working remotely from Turkey are intended beneficiaries. Source-of-income analysis will matter — income for work performed in Turkey may be treated as Turkish-source by some interpretations.
Typical saving: €8,000–€25,000/yr
Freelancers & Consultants
Freelancers invoicing foreign clients through foreign structures are well-positioned, provided income is genuinely foreign-sourced. Content creators, designers, developers, and consultants with overseas client bases all fit this profile.
Typical saving: €5,000–€20,000/yr
Property Investors
Foreign rental income — from property outside Turkey — is covered under the active 20-year exemption. Investors with buy-to-let portfolios in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, or Spain could benefit significantly.
Typical saving: €2,000–€12,000/yr
Entrepreneurs & Investors
Foreign dividends, interest, and investment income are likely covered. Dutch B.V. holders, UK Ltd shareholders, and investors in foreign funds would be among the clearest beneficiaries — subject to treaty interactions and GIB guidance.
Typical saving: €10,000–€50,000+/yr
Model your specific situation
Use the calculator above to input your exact income, or switch to 20-year mode to see the potential saving for your situation.
Saving estimates assume 100% of income is foreign-sourced and qualifying. Actual benefit depends on income composition, double tax treaty position, and implementing guidance from the Turkish Revenue Administration (GIB). Turkish-source income remains taxable at standard rates. Consult a qualified tax advisor before making relocation or financial planning decisions.
