How the calculator works
- Inherited or gifted property is not taxed on sale.
- Owned for more than five years? Then the sale is not taxed.
- Inflation adjustment. Your purchase price is raised by the change in the producer price index (Yİ-ÜFE) between the month before you bought and the month before you sell, when that change is 10% or more.
- Costs of buying and selling, including the seller's 2% title deed fee, are deducted.
- Annual exemption. The first 150,000 TL of gains in 2026 (120,000 TL in 2025, 87,000 TL in 2024) is exempt.
- Tax brackets. The rest is taxed at 15% to 40% with the brackets of the sale year.
The full rules, with a worked example, are in our guide to capital gains tax when selling property in Turkey.

Frequently asked questions
Do foreigners pay capital gains tax when selling property in Turkey?
The rules are the same for foreign and Turkish owners. A sale more than five years after the purchase is not taxed. A sale within five years is taxed only on the gain left after the inflation adjustment and the annual exemption.
Why does the calculator ask for the month before I bought and sold?
It does not ask, but it uses them. The purchase price is adjusted with the producer price index (Yİ-ÜFE) of the month before the purchase and the month before the sale, and only when the index has risen by 10% or more. This is how the tax office does it.
Which exchange rate is used if I paid in dollars or euros?
Turkish tax is calculated in lira, using the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye's buying rate for each date. The calculator fills in that rate for your purchase and sale dates, and you can change it.
Is inherited or gifted property taxed when I sell it?
No. Gains on property received by inheritance or as a gift are outside capital gains tax, whenever you sell.
How accurate is the result?
It follows the official method and the published 2024–2026 figures, and assumes the gain is your only Turkish income that year. It is an estimate, not tax advice. Your accountant should confirm the final figure before you file.
When do I declare and pay?
Turkish tax residents declare the gain in the annual income tax return in March of the year after the sale and pay in two instalments, in March and July. Non-residents file a special return within 15 days of the sale.
