Estimate the true employer cost of hiring an employee in Brazil — beyond the gross salary. Enter a monthly gross salary to see mandatory charges, provisions, and how an Employer of Record (EOR) compares.
Brazil employer costs add a significant but variable burden over gross salary — the exact amount depends on the company's tax regime, activity risk classification, third-party (Sistema S) rates, benefits, and termination assumptions. The numbers below are editable so you can match your situation.
An Employer of Record handles compliant hiring without you opening a Brazilian entity. They charge a platform fee on top of the real employment cost above (typically from ~US$599/employee/month; often lower at volume). Opening your own entity instead typically takes 3–6 months and costs US$15,000–50,000+.

This estimate applies the standard mandatory employer charges in Brazil to the gross salary. Real costs vary by company tax regime (e.g., Simples Nacional, Lucro Real), union/collective agreements (CCT), benefits (meal/transport vouchers), and whether charges cascade onto the 13th salary and vacation. Treat this as a planning estimate, not a quote.
