Maternity Leave Parameters
Monthly Gross / 30 is a quick estimate. Last 3 Months Total / 90 may provide an average closer to SSI practice.
Valid range: 6 - 8 weeks
Legal minimum is 6 weeks for single pregnancy and 8 weeks for multiple pregnancy. Therefore values below this limit are not allowed; unused prenatal weeks are transferred to postnatal leave.
If selected, the difference between SSI benefit and normal wage is assumed to be paid by the employer. If not selected, only SSI benefit is considered.
SSI ceiling 2026: 297,270.00 ₺ (monthly). Benefit is capped when the ceiling is exceeded.
