Comparison
"Contractor" means a professional hired directly by a foreign company. In Brazil, this relationship is often structured through a legal entity (PJ), although the terms are not identical.
Brazilian employment offer (CLT)
International contractor offer
Uses standard assumptions (1.5% exchange spread, 0.38% IOF, 6% business tax reserve, and BRL 300 accounting). Fine-tune them in the compensation calculator.
Over a year, the PJ/contractor offer is worth about R$ 148.951,29 more.
CLT (annual take-home value)
R$ 134.235,53
Contractor (annual take-home value)
R$ 283.186,82
Beyond the number: what contractor work does not include
Estimate only, not official tax advice. The CLT side uses 2026 Brazilian payroll assumptions, including INSS, IRRF, 13th salary, vacation bonus, and FGTS. The contractor side uses estimated business costs. Consult a Brazilian accountant for your actual situation.
Brazilian employment spreads part of the package across a 13th salary, vacation bonus, and FGTS, while contractor compensation places those provisions and exchange costs on you. Annual value makes the two offers comparable without hiding those differences.
