The displayed tax total covers IRRF income tax. See the country assumptions for details.
Calculation assumptions

- INSS is calculated progressively each month using the 2026 employee bands and is deducted from the IRRF base.
- The 2026 tax reduction eliminates monthly income tax through BRL 5,000 and tapers to zero at BRL 7,350.
