Alimony increase

Does alimony increase every year in Türkiye?
When awarding alimony, Turkish courts usually order that it be “increased every year by the PPI (or CPI) rate published by TÜİK (the Turkish Statistical Institute)”. Under the settled case law of the Court of Cassation 2nd Civil Chamber, if a party asks for it, the increase is by the PPI. Where the judgment contains such a clause, no new lawsuit is needed: the increased amount can be enforced directly through the enforcement office.
When and at what rate the increase applies depends on the wording of the judgment; it cannot be reinterpreted at the enforcement stage. The tool applies, on each anniversary, TÜİK’s figure for the month before that date. If your judgment provides for a different period (e.g. every January, using the previous December’s rate), enter the start date accordingly.
If the judgment has no increase clause, or the parties’ financial situation has changed significantly, anadjustment lawsuit can be brought under TMK art. 176(4) to increase or reduce the alimony. The court then considers not only inflation but also the parties’ income and the child’s needs.
Inflation rates by month
Rows show the year, columns the month the figure refers to. Each increase uses the figure for the month before the increase date.
