Overview
- The projection implies a 6.79% increase from the current R$1,518, taking the nominal floor to R$1,621 in 2026.
- The Budget Guidelines Law approved by Congress still points to R$1,627, and the Executive is recalibrating forecasts after the November INPC release.
- By law the new amount takes effect on January 1, 2026, with the higher pay typically appearing in February payrolls.
- Roughly 54 million people have payments indexed to the minimum, including formal workers, retirees, pensioners and social‑benefit recipients.
- The adjustment automatically updates calculations for INSS pensions, the BPC, PIS/Pasep, 13th‑salary references and FGTS contributions, with fiscal and household impacts.
