How your tax is calculated

INSS social security is deducted first, up to the ceiling. Income tax (IRPF) is then progressive from 7.5% up to 27.5%, after an exempt band of roughly R$27,110 a year. The 13th salary is taxed separately at source. Your marginal rate is 28% — every additional R$1 you earn keeps roughly R$0.72 after tax and INSS.

10 hours of overtime a month at time-and-a-half would add about R$1,426 to your monthly take-home.
