How this is calculated
Benefit standard or reference budget
Single-worker living cost is Türkiye's own method: Türk-İş prices a worker's monthly living costs in Ankara. It is not interchangeable with another country's survey, which is why no other city's figure sits beside it.
Prices
No carry-forward. The survey (2026) is not older than Türkiye's latest CPI year (2025), so nothing is carried: a year of inflation not yet published is not guessed. World Bank FP.CPI.TOTL, annual average.
In euros
At 44.816135 TRY per euro, the ECB's 2025 average, the survey's figure is €1,090.79. ECB euro foreign exchange reference rates.
Change since 2023
Each series divided by its 2023 value. Prices: World Bank FP.CPI.TOTL, annual average. Spending: World Bank NE.CON.PRVT.CN ÷ SP.POP.TOTL, current local currency, household final consumption divided by population, per month. Türk-İş's September figure for 2023 to 2026. From October 2023 a new team calculates the report; Türk-İş says it uses the same nutrition pattern, and nothing earlier than September 2023 is joined on.
Stock market

TRY per euro
ECB euro foreign exchange reference rates, monthly average from 1999, on a logarithmic scale. A rising line is a weaker TRY. Latest 2026-10.
House prices, after inflation
BIS via FRED QTRR628BIS, quarterly, 2010 = 100. Indexed to Türkiye's own 2010, so only the direction compares across countries, never the level. Latest 2026-Q1.
