Example
Example: dismissed without cause after 4½ years on R$ 4.000,00 a month
Gross pay R$ 4.000,00, from 1 Mar 2022 to 15 Sep 2026, dismissed without cause with the notice paid rather than worked, and R$ 18.000,00 in the FGTS account. Amounts are in Brazilian format, as on a Brazilian payslip.
- Notice: 30 days plus 3 for each of the 4 full years = 42 days, paid as 42/30 of the monthly pay.
- The 42 days are projected past 15 September, so the 13th counts 10 months and vacation 8.
- Paid notice and vacation paid out carry no INSS or income tax; INSS comes off the salary balance and the 13th.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Salary balance (15 days) | R$ 2.000,00 |
| Notice paid (42 days) | R$ 5.600,00 |
| 13th salary pro rata (10/12) | R$ 3.333,33 |
| Vacation pro rata (8/12) | R$ 2.666,67 |
| Third on vacation pro rata | R$ 888,89 |
| Gross total | R$ 14.488,89 |
| INSS | − R$ 444,29 |
| Net total | R$ 14.044,60 |
| FGTS fine (40 %) | R$ 7.200,00 |
R$ 14.044,60 net, due within 10 days, plus the 40 % fine of R$ 7.200,00 into the FGTS: the whole balance and the fine can be drawn, and unemployment insurance is due if the qualifying period is met. Resigning on the same dates with the notice worked would pay R$ 7.706,82 net.

Frequently asked questions
- How long is the notice?
- 30 days plus 3 for each full year, at most 90 (Lei 12.506/2011).
- What is the FGTS fine?
- 40 % of the FGTS balance on dismissal without cause, 20 % by agreement.
- Is this professional advice?
- No, it is a calculator. Contracts, collective agreements and individual circumstances can change the figures.
- What do I get if I resign?
- The salary balance, the 13th and vacation pro rata with the third, and any vacation due — but no notice pay, no FGTS fine or withdrawal and no unemployment insurance. On R$ 4.000,00 from 1 Mar 2022 to 15 Sep 2026, that is R$ 7.706,82 net with the notice worked; leaving without working it deducts 30 days, R$ 4.000,00, for R$ 3.706,82.
- How are the 13th and vacation pro rata counted?
- In twelfths: a month counts once 15 days or more of it have been worked. Paid notice extends the contract, so its days count too — in the example, 42 days of notice turn the 13th from 9/12 into 10/12 and vacation from 7/12 into 8/12.
- Is what I type sent anywhere?
