About this tool
Type the gross salary and choose the company tax regime to see what a CLT employee costs. The calculator adds FGTS (8%), the monthly reserve for the 13th salary and for vacation plus one third, and the employer INSS: none in the Simples Nacional annexes I, II, III and V (it is inside the DAS), 20% plus RAT in annex IV, and 20% plus RAT and third-party contributions in presumed or real profit. Optional: the company share of the transport voucher (the cost minus 6% of the salary), benefits and a reserve for the 40% FGTS fine. It also shows what the employee takes home, so you see both sides. 2026 tables; everything is worked out in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Are the values I type saved or sent anywhere?
No. Everything is worked out in your browser. Nothing goes to a server, nothing is saved and nothing stays in the page address; only the link you choose to copy carries the values.
How much does an employee cost above the salary?
In the Simples Nacional (annexes I–III and V) about 1.29 times the salary with FGTS and the 13th and vacation reserves; outside the Simples, with 20% employer INSS, RAT 2% and third parties 5.8%, about 1.62 times. Benefits and transport add to that.
Where do RAT and third parties come from?
RAT (1%, 2% or 3%, adjusted by the FAP) depends on the risk of the main activity, and third parties (Sistema S, salário-educação, INCRA) on the FPAS code; 5.8% is the most common total. Your accountant has the exact rates.
