How it works
How it works
Seguro-desemprego pays 3 to 5 installments to people dismissed without cause. The amount depends on the average of the last three salaries, between a floor and a ceiling, and the number of installments depends on the request and the time worked.
Assumptions used
Assumptions: 2026 table with a floor of R$ 1,621.00 and a ceiling of R$ 2,518.65 (80% up to R$ 2,222.17; from R$ 2,222.18 to R$ 3,703.99, R$ 1,777.74 plus 50% of the amount above R$ 2,222.17). Installments: 1st request, 12 to 23 months = 4 and 24 or more = 5; 2nd request, 9 to 11 = 3, 12 to 23 = 4 and 24 or more = 5; 3rd request or more, 6 to 11 = 3, 12 to 23 = 4 and 24 or more = 5. Values come from secondary sources consistent with the formula in the law; confirm at gov.br/trabalho-e-emprego. The other conditions (deadline to apply, no own income) still apply.
