Overview

• The Transparência Brasil study reviewed 11,656 nominal, complete payslips from 25 MP units for 2024 and excluded the 13th salary, one‑third vacation pay, and retroactive amounts that added R$739 million to total earnings.
• At least 220 promotores and procuradores received between R$500,000 and R$1 million above the annualized ceiling, and in 77% of over‑cap cases the excess surpassed R$100,000.
• Ten states, including Rio de Janeiro, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Amazonas, Ceará, Maranhão, Rio Grande do Norte, Rondônia, Acre, and Alagoas, had every MP member above the limit, with Rio de Janeiro showing a R$76.2 thousand gross monthly average.
• Opaque disclosures left about R$1.4 billion in above‑cap payouts without clear classification, and a major driver flagged was compensatory leave or backlog‑accumulation bonuses totaling at least R$687 million.
• MP bodies said the payments are lawful under current rules, the CNMP has not commented, and the reform plan in Congress proposes unified pay tables and tighter limits on non‑reparatory allowances.
