New features in calculating Unemployment Insurance 2024
In 2024, the Ministry of Labor and Employment brought significant changes to the calculation of Unemployment Insurance, valid from January 11th.
These changes aim to reflect the country's economic variations, keeping the benefit aligned with the purchasing power and needs of workers.
The main novelty is the adjustment of the benefit based on the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) of 2023, which was 3.71%.
IBGE calculates this index, which works as an inflation thermometer, measuring the variation in the prices of products and services that Brazilian families consume.
The readjustment of Unemployment Insurance by INPC is crucial to keep up with changes in the cost of living, ensuring that inflation does not affect the purchasing power of the benefit.
Updated values
The minimum value of Unemployment Insurance 2024 is the current minimum wage, which currently stands at R$ 1,412.00.

Here is a summary of the new Unemployment Insurance table for 2024:
- Up to R$ 2,041.39: The calculation is made by multiplying the average salary by 0.8.
