Dario Durigan anuncia reajuste do salário mínimo para R$ 1.741 em 2027

Overview

  • Finance Minister Dario Durigan confirmed on Monday that the 2027 PLOA will carry a projected minimum wage of R$1,741 and the budget will be sent to Congress by August 31.
  • The R$1,741 number is provisional and will be recalculated in December using the INPC to November together with the statutory two‑year‑lag GDP component.
  • The government said the projection will be used to update pensions, the Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC), unemployment insurance and the abono salarial and that it will not desvincular those benefits from the minimum wage.
  • Technical teams have begun modelling a possible differentiation in how the floor is applied to active workers versus retirees and assistance recipients but no policy decision has been taken.
  • The change matters for federal spending and household incomes because the statutory floor of R$1,741 is far below Dieese's R$7,425.99 living‑wage estimate for a four‑person family, a gap likely to shape budget pressure and political debate before December’s final fix.
