   Corrected the 2026 minimum wage figure, which had been wrongly stated as 22,104 Turkish Lira gross with roughly 17,000 Lira net (22,104 was actually 2025's net figure, not 2026's gross figure); the correct 2026 figures are 33,030 Lira gross and 28,075.50 Lira net.

   Before

   For 2026, the minimum wage is 22,104 TRY gross, with net take-home pay of approximately 17,000 TRY after mandatory deductions.

   After

   The minimum wage is paid 12 times per year. There is no mandatory 13th or 14th month salary under Turkish law, although some collective bargaining agreements or individual contracts may include additional payments. [Gross minimum wage 2026: 33,030 TRY; net: approximately 28,075.50 TRY]

   Why: The article's 22,104 TRY figure was actually 2025's net minimum wage, mistakenly presented as the 2026 gross figure; the correct 2026 figures are 33,030 TRY gross and roughly 28,075.50 TRY net.
