WID wealth estimate

When debts exceed assets.

−R$ 254,121.57

About 16 million adults have negative net wealth in the World Inequality Database (WID) estimate for 2024. This milestone shows the mean wealth of the 1% of adults with the least wealth.

The zero crossing was interpolated between the 10th and 11th percentiles: approximately 10.3% of 155,432,016 adults. The observed bracket corresponds to 15.5–17.1 million people; it is not a confidence interval. This does not count everyone with a loan or overdue debt.

WID wealth estimate

The break-even point.

R$ 0.00

Your assets are worth exactly as much as your debts. Zero is the point between negative and positive net wealth.

How this comparison was calculated

Calculation

Net wealth = assets − debts = R$ 0.00

Assumptions and limitations

  • Zero net wealth does not mean having no debts or having paid every bill.

The first positive real.

R$ 1.00

Saving R$ 1 per hour, it would take around 33.4 years to reach the car’s historical reference price.

How this comparison was calculated

Calculation

R$ 70,629.18 ÷ (R$ 1.00 × 8 × 22 × 12) ≈ 33.4 years

Assumptions and limitations

  • 8 hours a day, 22 days a month and 12 months a year.
  • Constant savings in reference-date reais, without returns. A purchasing-power comparison, not a financial forecast.
  • Historical offer including IPI tax exemption, discounts and brand incentives. The IPCA adjustment expresses purchasing power without estimating the car’s current price. Registration, insurance and maintenance are excluded.

R$ 26,080.98

Gross monthly pay set for the 2025–2028 council term. This is personal remuneration before deductions.

Benefits and resources of this office
  • 13th salary and vacation pay. The City Council reports a 13th salary and paid leave with a one-third supplement after twelve months of service. These payments have their own timing and rules; they are not automatically included in each month’s pay. Official source ↗
  • Travel and resources for the mandate. Expenses such as travel within the city, materials, correspondence and office services may be reimbursed with documentation, within the operating budget. Hired vehicles fall within that ceiling. These resources fund parliamentary work and are not personal salary. Official source ↗

R$ 34,774.64

State law established this gross pay for 2026.

If your net wealth were R$ 34,774.64, it would equal one month of this gross salary.

Benefits and resources of this office
  • Supplementary healthcare. The São Paulo Legislative Assembly (Alesp) program allows reimbursement of the deputy’s own health expenses under the act’s conditions: serving in office or on medical leave, supporting documents, and no coverage or reimbursement from another source. The program does not extend to family members. Official source ↗
  • Accommodation and housing. The rule permits accommodation and stays or housing in São Paulo, with specific criteria and documentation. These expenses share the office operating ceiling instead of being an unconditional monthly addition to salary. Official source ↗
  • Vehicles and travel. Travel for parliamentary work may involve tickets, tolls, fuel and accommodation under the accountability rules. Reimbursement of fuel and vehicle rental requires, among other conditions, choosing not to use an official Assembly vehicle. Official source ↗

Gross monthly pay. Unjustified absences may result in deductions.

If your net wealth were R$ 46,366.19, it would equal one month of this gross salary.

Benefits and resources of this office
  • Official apartment or housing allowance. The Chamber provides official apartments. Those who do not occupy one may receive a housing allowance under the Chamber’s rules. Use of the property is tied to the mandate; it does not become part of the deputy’s personal wealth. Official source ↗
  • Healthcare and medical expenses. Deputies and eligible dependants may use the Chamber’s medical services. The deputy’s own private expenses may be reimbursed under the rules and subject to the available budget. Joining Pró-Saúde involves contributions and cost-sharing; it is not a freely disposable monthly cash payment. Official source ↗
  • Allowance at a term transition. The decree provides an allowance at the beginning and end of a term. This is an occasional payment with rules for substitutes and recalls; it must not be treated as a monthly supplement or repeatedly added to salary. Official source ↗
  • Travel and office operations. The parliamentary allowance may cover tickets, vehicle rental, fuel, meals and office expenses, among other permitted items. Reporting requirements and specific ceilings distinguish this budget from a deputy’s personal income. Official source ↗

One month of a cabinet minister’s pay

R$ 46,366.19

Gross pay for the office, distinct from any other items that may appear on the payroll.

If your net wealth were R$ 46,366.19, it would equal one month of this gross salary.

Benefits and resources of this office
  • Conditional housing allowance. The Ministry of Management’s 2026 guidance treats a cabinet minister’s housing allowance as reimbursement subject to legal conditions. The published ceiling does not establish that all ministers receive payment and must not be automatically added to salary. Official source ↗
  • Official travel. The Office of the Comptroller General (CGU) guide explains the compensatory purpose of federal daily allowances: extraordinary accommodation, meal and transport expenses during official travel. Eligibility depends on the trip and its conditions. The guide dates from 2012 and is used here only to explain this distinction, without current amounts. Official source ↗

R$ 46,366.19

Gross pay for the office. This does not describe the total of any individual payslip.

If your net wealth were R$ 46,366.19, it would equal one month of this gross salary.

Benefits and resources of this office
  • Institutional health plan. The transparency portal provides information on STF-Med, including governance, financial data and reimbursements. This edition does not turn the program’s cost into a monthly benefit per justice: coverage, contributions and expenses must be assessed under the relevant rules and records. Official source ↗
  • Daily allowances and travel tickets. The Supreme Federal Court (STF) publishes daily allowances and tickets granted to justices, employees and collaborators for official travel in Brazil and abroad. These expenses depend on trips actually taken and are not a fixed monthly component of pay. Official source ↗
  • Payroll components. The transparency records distinguish the remuneration of justices and employees and allow payroll components to be consulted. Benefits presented specifically for employees are not attributed to justices in this edition. Variable payments require examination of the individual record and the relevant period. Official source ↗

Benefits and resources of this office
  • Official residence. Palácio da Alvorada is the Presidency’s official residence. Its use is tied to holding office. The building is not part of the president’s private wealth, and this scale does not assign an invented rent to it. Official source ↗
  • Presidential facilities. The accounts record the maintenance and operation of official palaces and residences. These expenses belong to the institutional structure. The 2023 management report is used to explain that nature, without estimating an individual monthly benefit in 2026. Official source ↗

Benefits and resources of this office
  • Official housing or housing reimbursement. The Senate offers official housing and provides assistance for rent or accommodation under its rules. Reimbursement requires documentation. Neither the availability of housing nor the allowance ceiling establishes how much each senator actually receives. Official source ↗
  • Healthcare assistance. The Senate portal publishes healthcare expenses for current and former senators. These are treatment and reimbursement costs subject to institutional rules; the records must not be presented as an identical monthly supplement for everyone. Official source ↗
  • Travel and accommodation for the mandate. The parliamentary activity allowance includes transport, accommodation, meals and fuel expenses. Spending can be consulted by senator. This funding of the mandate remains separate from salary and personal benefits. Official source ↗
  • Allowance at a term transition. The decree applicable to members of Congress provides an allowance at the beginning and end of a term, subject to its conditions. This is an occasional payment, rather than recurring monthly income. Official source ↗

Ten million reais.

R$ 10,000,000.00

Equivalent to 2 FNDE Type 2 nursery construction budgets, with a combined designed capacity of 188 full-time children.

How this comparison was calculated

Calculation

⌊R$ 10,000,000.00 ÷ R$ 3,689,351.34⌋ = 2 units

Amount remaining: R$ 2,621,297.32.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Whole units are rounded down. Unused funds do not count as an additional unit.
  • Average project value for 2025 in the Novo PAC manual. Designed capacity: 94 full-time children or 188 across two shifts. We use the 2025 annual average IPCA as an editorial convention. This is a construction-cost equivalence, not a promise of implementation, operation, staffing or places actually opened.
