how much to charge on RPA to net a target
In the calculator, choose "I want a net amount", type the value and read the gross to agree on. This page explains why the result is not a simple percentage markup.
INSS only: 2,000 ÷ 0.89.
Still no income tax.
Lands exactly on the exemption limit.
Income tax kicks in and the gross jumps.
INSS already at the ceiling; the rest is income tax.
Start from the gross amount and subtract INSS (11% up to the R$ 8,475.55 ceiling), income tax (the 2026 monthly table, on a base already reduced by INSS) and ISS if the city requires withholding. On a R$ 3,000 RPA, INSS is R$ 330, income tax is zero (income up to R$ 5,000) and the freelancer receives R$ 2,670. The company pays R$ 3,600 in total, because it adds a 20% employer contribution.
Only by coincidence. Up to R$ 5,000 the gross is the net divided by 0.89 (factor 1.1236). Above that the factor changes: 1.216 for R$ 5,000 net and 1.339 for R$ 8,000. Use reverse mode instead of a fixed factor.
Yes, when legal deductions exceed the simplified discount. Each dependent deducts R$ 189.59 from the income tax base, which lowers tax and therefore the gross needed in the bands above R$ 5,000.

| Net | R$2,670.00 |
The 11% INSS withheld from the freelancer comes out of the gross, it is not an extra cost. The 20% employer contribution is added on top.
INSS is due on day 20 of the next month (the previous business day if banks are closed).
The larger of legal deductions (withheld INSS, dependents, alimony) and the R$ 607.20 simplified discount applies. The reduction uses gross income and never exceeds the table tax.
