Work out what the new rent will be.
Enter the current rent and the increase rate to be applied; see the new amount, the difference and its effect over the year together.
According to your contract and the legislation in force
Fill in both fields and the new rent appears here.
You enter the rate yourself. The current consumer price index figure is published by TÜİK, Türkiye's statistical institute; which rate applies depends on your contract and on the legislation in force.
How a rent increase is calculated
The arithmetic is simple: you grow the current rent by the increase rate. The hard part is deciding which rate applies.
For residential rents, the rate that may be applied is based on the twelve-month average of the consumer price index. TÜİK publishes that figure every month. If your contract sets out a different type of increase (a fixed rate, a foreign-currency basis, the producer price index), the calculation follows that instead.
- New rent = current rent × (1 + rate)
- Monthly difference = new rent - current rent
- Annual difference = monthly difference × 12
Which rate applies
For residential and roofed business premises, the increase rate is tied to an upper limit by law. That limit changes from time to time, and there have been periods with temporary arrangements.
That is why we do not write a figure on this page. Determine the rate you will apply by looking at your contract and at the rules in force on that date.
- If the contract states the type of increase, look at that first
- For residential rents the statutory upper limit applies
- For business premises the parties may agree a different method
- In a new contract there is no first-year increase
Having the conversation on time
A rent increase usually becomes a problem when it is left late. If the old amount is still being collected when the contract's anniversary arrives, a backdated correction strains the relationship and delays collection.
On the office side, the only solution is to see the contract's end and renewal dates in advance. Leaving the calendar to the system rather than to memory is what lets you have the conversation on time.
Frequently asked
- Why do you not supply the increase rate?
- The rate changes every month and the statutory upper limit is revised from period to period. A figure buried in a page turns into wrong information before long. Taking the right rate from your contract and from a current official source, and entering it here, is safer.
- Does the same calculation apply to business premises?
- The arithmetic is the same. For business premises, though, the parties can set a different method of increase by contract; look at the contract clause first.
- What happens if the tenant does not accept the increase?
- If the parties cannot agree, the matter can go to court for the rent to be determined. This page helps you do the calculation; in a dispute you need legal support.
- Can an increase be made mid-term?
- As a rule the rent is updated in annual periods. If the contract provides otherwise and that provision is legally valid, it is followed instead.
