What is the Brazil INSS Contribution Calculator?
Brazil's social security (INSS — Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social) uses a progressive employee contribution table since 2020, replacing the previous single-rate system. Rates range from 7.5% (at minimum wage) to 14% (above R$4,190.83), applied progressively like income tax bands. The maximum contribution ceiling is the teto do INSS (R$8,157.41/month). INSS entitles contributors to retirement, disability, sickness, and maternity benefits.
Formula
INSS = Progressive bands: 7.5% up to R$1,518; 9% on R$1,518-R$2,793.88; 12% on R$2,793.88-R$4,190.83; 14% on R$4,190.83-R$8,157.41.- S
