Minimum wage in 2021: see national and state value | economy

The amount represents an increase of R $ 55, or 5.26%, in relation to the R $ 1,045 in effect throughout 2020.

The minimum wage of R $ 1,100 is above the R $ 1,088 provided by the government in the proposed reform of the Law of Budgetary Guidelines (LDO), sent on December 15 to the National Congress.

The minimum wage is corrected by the National Consumer Price Index (INPC), and the indicator is expected to increase by approximately 5.2% in 2020 (official data will be published on January 12). With that, it will be another year without a real increase in the minimum wage.

Most of the Brazilian states follow the value established by the federal government. But some states adopt a regional floor, higher than the national value. In 2021, five states will have their own minimum wage: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. See current values ​​by state at the end of the report.

The regional minimum wage serves as a reference, above all, for workers in the private sector who belong to categories not covered by collective agreements or agreements, such as domestic workers.
