Minimum mediation fee tariff: Adalet Bakanlığı (Hukuk İşleri GM — Alternatif Çözümler) 28 Oct 2026

How it is calculated

The Ministry of Justice publishes the Minimum Mediation Fee Tariff in the Official Gazette at the end of December each year, in force from 1 January; the current one is in Official Gazette 26.12.2025/33119. The tariff in force when mediation ended applies (Art. 10). Mediation is a precondition for filing a lawsuit in: employee and employer claims, compensation and reinstatement cases (Law 7036 Art. 3(1)); commercial claims for a sum of money, compensation, annulment of objection, negative declaratory and restitution cases (Commercial Code Art. 5/A(1)); disputes before the consumer courts, save the exceptions in Art. 73/A(1) (Law 6502 Art. 73/A(1)); and tenancy, partition, condominium and neighbour-law disputes (Law 6325 Art. 18/B(1)). Tariff fees are minimums: a higher fee may be agreed with the mediator, and a lower one is void (Art. 1(2)). In mandatory mediation the mediator may not ask the parties for expenses (Art. 2(4)).

FormulaAgreement: Fee = max(Part Two scale fee, floor); No agreement: Fee = hours × hourly feeWith one mediator, Part Two slices: 6% on the first ₺600,000, 5% on the next ₺960,000, 4% on the next ₺1,560,000, 3% on the next ₺3,120,000, 2% on the next ₺9,360,000, 1.5% on the next ₺12,480,000, 1% on the next ₺24,960,000, 0.5% on the rest; with more mediators the rates are higher and the fee is split equally. The floor on agreement is ₺9,000.00, ₺13,000.00 in commercial and partition disputes; in mandatory mediation the fee is also never below two hours’ fee. The hourly fee is per party with two parties and a band by head count with three or more: in a labour dispute ₺1,130.00 per party with two parties, ₺2,460.00 with 3–5; in a commercial dispute ₺1,500.00 per party with two.

With an agreement, the Part Two slices are applied to the amount agreed in order; if the result is below the floor, the floor applies (Tariff Art. 7(6)–(7), Law 6325 Art. 18/A(12)).
Without one, the meeting time is multiplied by the Part One hourly fee for the type of dispute and number of parties (Tariff Art. 7(3)).
In mandatory mediation without agreement, the Ministry of Justice pays two hours and the parties share any time beyond equally (Law 6325 Art. 18/A(13)).
The parties pay the fee equally unless agreed otherwise (Tariff Art. 3(1)).
In mandatory consumer mediation, whatever the outcome, the Ministry of Justice budget covers the fee the consumer would pay; in these cases the fee may not exceed two hours’ fee under Part One (Law 6502 Art. 73/A(3)).

Frequently asked questions

Who pays if there is no agreement?

In mandatory mediation, if the meetings took less than two hours or never happened, the Ministry of Justice pays two hours. Time beyond two hours is shared equally by the parties; in consumer disputes the consumer’s share is also paid from the Ministry of Justice budget, and the fee may not exceed two hours’ fee in that case (Law 6502 Art. 73/A(3)). Both are added to the court costs of a later lawsuit and may be charged to the losing side (Law 6325 Art. 18/A(13)). The tariff has no “half fee” rule.

What is the minimum fee on agreement?

₺9,000.00 whatever the amount agreed; ₺13,000.00 in commercial and partition disputes. In mandatory mediation it is also never below two hours’ fee.

What is the hourly fee in a labour dispute?

With two parties ₺1,130.00 per party (twice that per hour in all), ₺2,460.00 with 3–5 parties, ₺2,560.00 with 6–10 and ₺2,660.00 with 11 or more.

How is it worked out in a tenancy dispute?

For eviction ending in agreement, on half a year’s rent; for a rent review, on a year of the rent difference, under Part Two (Tariff Art. 7(5)). Enter that amount as the amount agreed.
