Enter your salary to see the gross pay that keeps the same take-home in the other country, at market exchange rates and at purchasing power. You can also compare one gross number or two different salaries. Every rate shows its date and official source.
This example uses the average full-time gross salary in Brazil (ILOSTAT harmonised earnings from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey, 2025), with Brazil: Monthly deduction profile Legal deductions, no dependants, 12 ordinary salaries. Change any answer below to calculate your own case.

In Brazil, a gross salary of R$40,718 leaves R$37,169 a year after income tax and employee contributions.
To take home the same amount in Portugal at the market exchange rate (1 BRL = 0.17676 EUR), you would need to earn about €50,000 gross.
Adjusted for the cost of household spending, the same standard of living takes €8,275 after tax, which means about €50,000 gross.
Prices in Portugal are higher than in Brazil for the average household, so the purchasing power figure is the larger one.
Bars use BRL at the market exchange rate, so the take-home segments match in length.
The required salary keeps the same annual take-home pay after income tax and employee contributions, using each country's selected profile. The market figure converts at an official exchange rate. The purchasing power figure converts with World Bank household consumption price levels, which average the whole country and do not reflect a specific city, rent or lifestyle.
The required salary keeps your annual take-home pay after income tax and employee contributions. The market figure converts at the official exchange rate: the European Central Bank euro reference rate where the ECB publishes one, otherwise the World Bank annual average. The purchasing power figure uses World Bank International Comparison Program price levels for household consumption, so it reflects what money buys on average across the country rather than in one city.
