The biggest pay step is Senior to Lead / Principal: R$ 144.000 more a year before tax, of which R$ 104.400 reaches take-home. 28% of that raise goes to INSS and IRRF (income tax), close to the average 27% on the Senior salary, so a raise keeps roughly the same share as the rest of your pay.

At a median R$ 32.000/month, contract work grosses about R$ 384.000 a year over 12 months, 19% more than the R$ 324.000 permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, pension contributions, and the gaps between contracts. Contract and permanent benchmarks come from separate samples, so treat the gap as a guide.
