Brazil Hazard Pay Calculator: Insalubridade and Periculosidade
Calculate Brazil's hazard pay: insalubridade at 10%, 20% or 40% of the minimum wage, periculosidade at 30% of the salary, and which one is better for you.
What it does
The CLT gives two premiums for risky work. Insalubridade, for exposure to agents harmful to health such as noise, heat or chemicals above the tolerance limits, is 10%, 20% or 40% of the minimum wage depending on the grade set by the expert report. Periculosidade, for flammable, explosive or electrical risks, violence in security work or motorcycle work, is 30% of the salary without other additions. A worker exposed to both chooses the higher one.
How to use it
- Type the base salary.
- Choose the grade of insalubridade in the expert report, if any.
- Compare the two premiums and see the salary with the better one.

Can I receive both premiums?
No. Article 193 of the CLT says the worker chooses one. On a R$ 3,000 salary, periculosidade (R$ 900) beats even maximum insalubridade (R$ 648.40).
Is insalubridade calculated on the minimum wage?
In most cases, yes. A collective agreement can set a different base, such as the category's minimum salary, which then prevails.
