This calculator turns a CLT employee's gross monthly salary (salário bruto) into the salário líquido on the payslip, with every deduction on its own line: INSS, income tax withheld at source (IRRF), alimony and the optional vale-transporte. The employer's FGTS deposit is shown under it, because it is paid on top of the salary and never taken from it.
INSS. The 2026 table is progressive by band, like income tax: 7.5% up to R$ 1.621,00 (the minimum wage), 9% up to R$ 2.902,84, 12% up to R$ 4.354,27 and 14% up to the ceiling of R$ 8.475,55. Nobody pays more than R$ 988,09 a month.
IRRF. The tax base is the gross minus INSS, R$ 189,59 per dependant and any court-ordered alimony, or minus the simplified discount of R$ 607,20 when that is larger. The monthly table is exempt up to R$ 2.428,80 and then charges 7.5% to 27.5% less a fixed parcela.
The 2026 reduction. Lei 15.270 of November 2025 cancels the whole tax when taxable income is up to R$ 5.000,00, and lowers it between R$ 5.000,01 and R$ 7.350,00 by R$ 978,62 minus 13.3145% of the salary. The reduction looks at the salary itself, not the tax base, as the Receita Federal's own examples show.
Vale-transporte. If you use transport passes, the employer may deduct up to 6% of the basic salary and pays the rest.

A gross salary of R$ 3.500,00 with no dependants leaves R$ 3.191,40 a month in 2026. INSS takes R$ 308,60 and the R$ 39,76 of income tax from the monthly table is cancelled in full by the Lei 15.270 reduction, because taxable income is below R$ 5.000,00.
Since January 2026 an employee whose monthly taxable income is up to R$ 5.000,00 has the whole IRRF cancelled by the Lei 15.270 reduction. Between R$ 5.000,01 and R$ 7.350,00 the tax is lowered by R$ 978,62 minus 0.133145 times the salary, and above R$ 7.350,00 the normal table applies.
INSS is progressive by band: 7.5% on the first R$ 1.621,00, 9% up to R$ 2.902,84, 12% up to R$ 4.354,27 and 14% up to R$ 8.475,55. Each rate applies only to the slice inside its band, so R$ 3.000,00 pays R$ 248,60 and the most anyone pays is R$ 988,09.
The desconto simplificado mensal replaces the legal deductions (INSS, dependants, alimony) when it is larger. In 2026 it is R$ 607,20, a quarter of the R$ 2.428,80 exempt band. Payroll must use whichever gives less tax, with no request from the employee.
Each dependant takes R$ 189,59 off the monthly tax base in 2026. Dependants only help when INSS plus dependants plus alimony beat the R$ 607,20 simplified discount, so on a salary of R$ 3.500,00 one dependant changes nothing, while on R$ 8.000,00 two dependants save about R$ 104 a month.
No. FGTS is a deposit of 8% of pay that the employer makes into the employee's account at Caixa, on top of the salary. On a salary of R$ 3.500,00 the employer deposits R$ 280,00 a month, and nothing is taken from the net pay.
