CLT vs. PJ vs. Self-Employed Calculator
A CLT vs. PJ vs. Self-Employed Calculator CLM Controller helps you easily compare how much hiring someone might cost the company and how much the professional might take home under each model. The idea is to facilitate an initial analysis of the differences between CLT, PJ, and Self-Employed/RPA, without requiring technical knowledge of payroll, labor charges, or taxes.
To use this tool, simply enter the gross monthly amount you want to simulate and indicate whether the contracting company has a CNPJ that falls under the Simples Nacional. Based on this data, the calculator provides a comparison of the three formats, showing the estimated net amount, fees, provisions, and the total cost to the company.
How to Use the CLT vs. PJ vs. Self-Employed Calculator

What the calculator takes into account
In the CLT simulation, the calculator takes into account employee deductions, such as INSS and IRRF, as well as charges and provisions that may affect the company's costs, such as FGTS, vacation pay, 13th-month salary, and employer contributions, when applicable.
In the PJ simulation, the calculation provides a simplified estimate that takes into account taxes and basic service costs. In the Self-Employed/RPA model, however, deductions such as INSS, IRRF, and ISS are factored in, in addition to any charges that may apply to the contracting company.
