INSS Table 2025
New Rates and Brackets
The INSS 2025 table maintains the four progressive brackets system with rates ranging from 7.5% to 14%. Each salary bracket has its own rate, applied only to the portion that falls within that range.
| Salary Bracket | Rate | Amount to Deduct |
|---|---|---|
| Up to R$ 1,518.00 | 7.5% | - |
| R$ 1,518.01 to R$ 2,571.29 | 9% | R$ 22.77 |
| R$ 2,571.30 to R$ 3,856.94 | 12% | R$ 99.90 |
| R$ 3,856.95 to R$ 8,157.41 | 14% | R$ 177.07 |
Contribution Ceiling
The INSS 2025 ceiling was set at R$ 8,157.41. This means workers with salaries above this amount always contribute the same maximum value of R$ 963.97.
For those earning above the ceiling, the effective rate decreases progressively. For example:
- Salary of R$ 10,000: contribution of R$ 963.97 (9.64% effective)
- Salary of R$ 15,000: contribution of R$ 963.97 (6.43% effective)
How to Calculate INSS Contribution
Progressive System
The INSS 2025 calculation works like Income Tax: each bracket has its rate applied only to the corresponding portion. It’s not a linear system where all income receives the same rate.
Use our INSS calculator to get the exact result of your monthly deduction.
Calculation Examples by Bracket
Example 1 - Salary of R$ 2,000.00:
1st bracket: R$ 1,518.00 × 7.5% = R$ 113.85
2nd bracket: R$ 482.00 × 9% = R$ 43.38
Total: R$ 157.23
Example 2 - Salary of R$ 5,000.00:
1st bracket: R$ 1,518.00 × 7.5% = R$ 113.85
2nd bracket: R$ 1,053.29 × 9% = R$ 94.80
3rd bracket: R$ 1,285.64 × 12% = R$ 154.28
4th bracket: R$ 1,143.06 × 14% = R$ 160.03
Total: R$ 522.96
Simplified Calculation
To speed up the calculation, you can use the formula with amount to deduct:
- Identify your salary bracket
- Multiply salary by the corresponding rate
- Subtract the amount to deduct
Example: Salary R$ 3,000 (3rd bracket)
R$ 3,000 × 12% = R$ 360
R$ 360 - R$ 99.90 = R$ 260.10
Changes from 2024
Main Changes
The main changes in the INSS 2025 table compared to 2024 were:
- Ceiling increased from R$ 7,786.02 to R$ 8,157.41 (4.77% increase)
- All brackets were adjusted by the same percentage
- Rates maintained at 7.5%, 9%, 12% and 14%
- Amounts to deduct were recalculated
Impact on Net Salary
The bracket adjustment results in lower INSS deduction for practically all salaries. Compare deductions between 2024 and 2025:
| Salary | INSS 2024 | INSS 2025 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| R$ 2,000 | R$ 164.52 | R$ 157.23 | -R$ 7.29 |
| R$ 4,000 | R$ 403.85 | R$ 385.61 | -R$ 18.24 |
| R$ 6,000 | R$ 647.92 | R$ 618.67 | -R$ 29.25 |
The reduction in deduction represents more money in the worker’s pocket monthly.
Special Cases
Self-employed and MEI
Individual Microentrepreneurs (MEI - micro-entrepreneur program) contribute with a fixed monthly amount:
- 2025: R$ 75.90 (5% on minimum wage)
- Right to age retirement

Self-employed workers can choose between:
- 11% on minimum wage (R$ 183.18) - only age retirement

Multiple Employment
Workers with multiple jobs contribute separately for each employment, but INSS considers the joint maximum limit of R$ 8,157.41.
If the sum of salaries exceeds the ceiling:
- Right to refund of excess amount
- Request via INSS appointment
- Up to 5 years to request
Example: Two jobs of R$ 5,000 each
Total contribution: R$ 1,045.92
Correct contribution: R$ 963.97
