Hire employees in Brazil with an Employer of Record

Hiring in Brazil requires a registered local employer to handle payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits. With Expand EOR, our local entity becomes the legal employer — so you can hire any candidate in Brazil without setting up your own subsidiary.

The local currency is BRL and the standard payroll cycle is monthly (13th salary). The official working language is Portuguese, and contracts must comply with Brazil employment law.

Payroll in Brazil runs monthly (13th salary). Employers are responsible for income tax withholding, social security contributions, and any mandatory benefits.

Estimated employer cost on top of gross salary: ~70–80% on top of gross. Expand EOR handles all calculations, deductions, and statutory filings on your behalf.

Total cost = gross salary + employer contributions (~70–80% on top of gross) + EOR fee starting at $299/month. There are no setup fees, no hidden charges, and no per-country surprises.

• Hire in Brazil in days — without registering a local entity (which can take months and cost $15,000+).
• Stay 100% compliant with Brazil employment, tax, and labour law.
• Pay employees in BRL on time, every cycle.
• Provide compliant local benefits and a great employee experience.
• Avoid permanent establishment risk and misclassification penalties.
