The eyes are now turned to the statement to be made by the government regarding how much the holiday bonuses, which were deposited as 3,000 liras in 2024, will be in 2025. So, how much will the retirement holiday bonus increase be? When will the holiday bonus increase be announced? The excitement for the 2025 holiday bonus increase rates continues. Along with the holiday bonuses allocated to retirees twice a year before the Feast of Sacrifice and Ramadan, retirees can both prepare for the holiday season and meet the needs of their homes.

Retirement holiday bonuses, as in previous years, will be deposited into retirees’ accounts before the Ramadan holiday this year as well. In previous years, holiday bonuses were deposited into accounts at most one week before the holiday. This year, it is expected that holiday bonuses will be deposited into accounts between March 24-28, 2025. Retirement holiday bonuses will be deposited through banks where salaries are received, according to the last digit of the allocation number. The Ministry of Treasury and Finance continues its work on bonus increase for retirement holiday bonuses. A clear figure for the rate of increase has not yet been announced by the authorities, but it is expected to be over 15.75%. If an increase rate of 15.75% is applied in line with the increase made in January to retirees, the retirement holiday bonuses will be 3,472 liras. Considering inflation, if a similar increase to the one made last year (2024) is applied, the bonuses will increase by 50% and reach 4,500 liras. In case there is a 40% increase, the bonuses will increase by 1200 liras and amount to 4,200 liras. The exact increase rates will be announced after the completion of the study.
