How to calculate salary by days worked
The default estimate divides monthly salary by 30 and multiplies by paid days entered manually or derived from the period helper.
Paid days are remunerated calendar days in Brazilian payroll, not automatically business days, time-clock punches, or absence classification.
When to use divisor 30 or month days
Divisor 30 is common for monthly employees and uses CLT article 64 as a reference for monthly divisor in hourly conversion.
Use month days or a manual divisor when company policy, a collective agreement, or payslip review requires another criterion.
Admission or dismissal in the middle of the month
The period helper counts inclusive dates and clips them to the reference month. For full severance, also check the severance calculator.
INSS and IRRF on proportional salary
When enabled, the estimate applies 2026 INSS/IRRF tables to taxable proportional earnings entered here.
Other salaries, jobs, and payroll items in the same month can change official withholding.
Why the official payslip may differ
Official payroll may include absences, DSR, leave, variable averages, taxable rubrics, collective agreements, eSocial, court orders, and internal rounding.
