The purpose of this research is to examine teachers' financial literacy levels according to some variables. In the research, the relational screening model was used. The study group of the research consists of 478 teachers working in public schools in the Tuzla District of Istanbul Province within the Ministry of National Education in the 2023-2024 academic year. In the research, data were collected using the "Economic Literacy Scale". As a result of the research, it was determined that teachers' financial literacy differed according to gender, marital status, age, school level and professional seniority variables. Male teachers have higher financial literacy than female teachers, and married teachers have higher financial literacy than single teachers. Again, as teachers' ages and seniority increase, their financial literacy also increases. Finally, the financial literacy of teachers working in high schools was found to be higher than teachers working at other school levels.
