The IBGE releases today the values of per capita household earnings referring to 2025 for Brazil and Federation Units, calculated based on the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD). Per capita household earnings for Brazil was R$2,316, ranging from R$1,219 in Maranhão to R$4,538 in the Federal District.
This release complies with Complementary Law 143/2013, which establishes the new criteria for sharing the State and Federal District Revenue Sharing Fund (FPE) and, as a consequence, with the values to be sent to the Brazilian Court of Audit (TCU) to calculate the factors representing the reverse of the per capita household earnings.
The per capita household earnings were calculated as the ratio between the total household earnings – in nominal terms – and the total number of residents. Earnings from labor and other sources are taken into account in this computation. Every resident is taken into account in the computation, including those classified as pensioners, domestic workers and their relatives.
The values were obtained from gross earnings from work and other sources, effectively received in the reference month of the survey, accumulating information from the first visits of the Continuous PNAD made in the first, second, third, and fourth quarters of 2025.

Carried out by the IBGE since January 2012, the Continuous PNAD is a sample household survey that follows the quarterly movements and the evolution of the workforce, among other information required to study the socioeconomic development of Brazil.
In the specific case of earnings, information related to labor is collected on every visit, while information related to other sources of earnings, on the first and fifth visits to the households. The first visit to the households is used for annual computation of the per capita household earnings based on the Continuous PNAD.
In 2020 and 2021, the use rate of the data collection significantly dropped, especially on the first visit to the households. The drop in the use rates of the interviews over the last years reflected the outstanding context, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic these years and the procedures adopted to mitigate the losses of information due to the pandemic, social distancing and access to households by interviewers.
From 2022 onwards, the use rate of the interviews began to recover and consolidated in 2023.
Therefore, the fifth visit to the households was adopted in 2020, 2021 and 2022 to compute the per capita household earnings as an alternative to the previous pattern (first visit), temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the return of the use level of the samples in 2023, the computation of the per capita household earnings resumed the first visit to the households.
