Brazil Unemployment Insurance Calculator 2026 (Seguro-Desemprego)
Calculate Brazil's unemployment insurance (seguro-desemprego) with the 2026 table: the average of your last 3 salaries, the payment amount and how many you get.
What it does
Seguro-desemprego is paid to workers dismissed without cause. The amount comes from the average of the last 3 salaries before dismissal: up to R$ 2,222.17 it is 80% of the average; from there to R$ 3,703.99 it is R$ 1,777.74 plus half of what exceeds R$ 2,222.17; above that it is the ceiling of R$ 2,518.65, and never less than the minimum wage of R$ 1,621. The number of payments, 3 to 5, depends on how many times you have asked and how many months you worked.

- Choose whether this is your 1st, 2nd or 3rd request and how many months you worked in the last 36 months.

The arithmetic runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere and nothing is stored, so you can use these with real numbers.
