O Custo Real CLT

O custo total é 70-100% acima do salário bruto. Salário R$3.000 bruto: INSS patronal (20%) R$600. FGTS (8%) R$240. 13º proporcional R$250. Férias + 1/3 R$333. Provisão de rescisão. Vale-transporte, VA/VR. Total: R$5.100-6.000/mês. O empregador paga quase o dobro do salário bruto.

Alternativas

CLT: proteção total ao empregado, custo mais alto. PJ (pejotização): cuidado — se configurar vínculo, a Justiça do Trabalho pode reconhecer como CLT. MEI como prestador: até R$81.000/ano, sem vínculo se houver autonomia real.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The largest hidden employee cost is turnover. Replacing an employee costs 50-200% of their annual salary (recruiting, interviewing, training, lost productivity). For a $65,000 position, turnover costs $32,500-130,000. Investing in retention (competitive pay, culture, growth opportunities) is almost always cheaper than replacement.
