The amount of retirement holiday bonuses in 2025 is a topic of interest for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees ahead of the upcoming Ramadan holiday. Last year, the retirement holiday bonuses increased by 50% to 3,000 Turkish liras, leaving retirees curious about this year’s amount. Minister of Labor and Social Security, Vedat Işıkhan, hinted at a possible increase by saying, “We will work on retirement holiday bonuses.” So, will the retirement holiday bonus increase in 2025, and how much will it be?

Expectations regarding the amount of retirement holiday bonuses in 2025 continue to be discussed. Each year, retirees receive holiday bonuses twice before Eid al-Adha and Ramadan, leading to questions about this year’s amount and distribution time. So, will the retirement holiday bonus increase in 2025, and how much will it be?

The government is expected to determine a new figure for the holiday bonuses given to retirees twice a year. Minister of Labor and Social Security, Vedat Işıkhan, made an announcement regarding retirement holiday bonuses, stating, “We will work on retirees’ holiday bonuses.”

After the 15.75% increase given to retirees in 2025, it is anticipated that the holiday bonuses will increase between 20% and 40% this year. Here are the possible increase scenarios:
If there is a 15.75% increase, the retirement bonuses will amount to 3,472 Turkish liras.
With a 20% increase, it will rise to 3,600 Turkish liras.
A 25% increase would make it 3,750 Turkish liras.
If the increase is at 30%, the bonuses will go up by 900 Turkish liras, reaching 3,900 Turkish liras.
In the case of a 35% increase in holiday bonuses, the amount will exceed the 4,000 Turkish lira limit and reach 4,050 Turkish liras.
With a 40% increase, retirees will receive bonuses worth 4,200 Turkish liras.
