Brazil Income Tax Calculator

Americas

Brazil uses a progressive income tax system with a top rate of 27.5%. Models the 2026 IRPF reform: no tax up to R$5,000/month (R$60,000/year gross), a steep phase-out to R$7,350/month, then the standard 27.5% top rate. Assumes the simplified deduction; INSS and other legal deductions are not modeled, and the new minimum effective rate on income above R$600,000/year is not either.
