Pension increases for January 2026 are becoming clearer. Millions of retirees are eagerly following these developments.

The salary calculations for civil servant retirees continue to be made according to the Retirement Fund Law. However, for civil servants who started after 2008, the Social Security Law No. 5510 is applied. This situation is only valid for a small number of people who have gained the right to retire.

Recent salary increases that fall below inflation rates negatively affect retirees' living standards. A 11% increase is expected for civil servants and civil servant retirees in January 2026.

It has been stated that the issue of lump-sum increases is not on the agenda. However, it is noted that the salaries of civil servant retirees will be determined according to both collective agreements and inflation differences.

In January 2026, the salary increases for civil servants and civil servant retirees will depend on both collective agreements and year-end inflation data. The exact rates will be clarified with the latest inflation figures announced by TÜİK.

Retirees are eagerly waiting for salary increases and the lump-sum increase arrangement. In this process, the decisions to be made by the government are of great importance.
