How to calculate Brazilian CLT severance
A CLT severance estimate starts with base remuneration, formed by monthly salary and habitual variable averages entered by the user.
The calculator estimates salary balance, notice, 13th salary, vacation plus one-third, FGTS, fine and deductions, separating each item for review.
What enters dismissal without cause
In dismissal without cause, the estimate includes the main items normally reviewed in a Brazilian TRCT.
- Salary balance for the exit month.
- Worked or indemnified notice, with proportional days by service time.
- Proportional 13th salary and overdue or proportional vacation plus one-third.
- 40% FGTS fine and displayed eligible FGTS withdrawal.
Resignation vs dismissal without cause
Resignation
Resignation keeps salary balance, 13th salary and vacation, but this simulator does not show an FGTS fine or immediate withdrawal. Notice may be worked, waived or deducted.
Dismissal without cause
Dismissal without cause may include indemnified notice, FGTS fine and withdrawal of the eligible balance, besides proportional items.
Worked, indemnified and deducted notice
Proportional notice starts at 30 days and adds 3 days per full year of service, capped at 90 days.
When notice is indemnified, projection may affect 13th salary and vacation avos. On resignation, this calculator deducts 30 days only when selected.
How vacation, 13th salary and FGTS are estimated
The 13th salary counts months in the termination year with at least 15 contract days. Proportional vacation counts the current acquisition period and is capped at 11/12.
Termination FGTS is estimated at 8% over selected remuneratory items. If no FGTS balance is entered, the historical base is approximated from current remuneration.
Calculator limits and when to seek help
This simulation does not replace TRCT, eSocial, FGTS Digital, accountant, union or lawyer review. Collective agreements, stability, leaves, absences, variable averages and prior payments can change results.
Domestic workers, apprentices, temporary contracts, probation contracts, public servants and complex judicial cases are outside this first scope.
