Calculate Your Vacation Efficiently and Correctly

Understanding the vacation calculation process is essential for every worker. In this article, we'll detail each step of the calculation, ensuring you fully understand your rights and the amount you're entitled to.

Understand Vacation Calculation

Gross Salary and Additional Payments

The starting point for calculating vacation pay is your gross salary. Include any additional payments, such as overtime or bonuses, for an accurate calculation.

Pecuniary Allowance and 1/3 Constitutional Allowance

You can opt for cash compensation by selling up to a third of your vacation time. Additionally, a constitutional one-third is added to the vacation pay, a right of every worker.

Deductions: INSS and IRRF

After calculating the total (gross salary plus 1/3 vacation pay), subtract the INSS (National Institute of Social Security) and IRRF (Income Tax) contributions. These deductions are mandatory and vary depending on the salary range.
