How it works
What this calculadora actually does

Contracts are boring until something goes wrong; this gives you the paper trail in advance. Check the period you are paid for, not the calendar month — then work it out and the rest of this page explains what the answer means.
Brazilian vacation: 30 calendar days after 12 months worked, paid as monthly salary + an extra 1/3 (constitutional bonus). Can be split into up to three periods, one ≥14 days.
The formula we run is Holiday pay = salary + 1/3 constitutional bonus. You'll see each term laid out in the worked example below.

When it isn't the right tool
Every tool has an edge where it stops being the right answer. Brazilian Holiday Pay (Férias) calculadora is no exception:
- For legally binding tax or medical decisions — cross-check with HMRC, NHS or a qualified professional.
- For very large or very small extremes the rounding error outgrows the useful precision.
- When the underlying rate or threshold has changed since the page was last reviewed — always verify with the primary source.
- When the input you have is already a derived figure (net of something) — feeding it in as "gross" will double-subtract.
Mistakes we see over and over
Every time you work it out for a new scenario, one of these creeps in — it's worth knowing them ahead of time.
- Mixing up units — grams in one field, ounces in another, then wondering why the answer is off.
- Treating a percentage as a whole number. 20% means 0.20 in the maths, not 20.
- Rounding at every step. Keep four decimals internally and only round the final number.
- Using last year's thresholds. If the page isn't dated, assume it's stale and check GOV.UK.
- Reading a tool like this as advice. It is maths, not a decision — the decision is still yours.
The sources behind the numbers
Where the maths needs an external authority, we cross-check against:
- Ministério do Trabalho
- CLT
