About this calculator
The BPC/LOAS calculator is an online tool that helps calculate the value of the Continuous Benefit Payment (BPC) and the Organic Law of Social Assistance (LOAS). The BPC is a benefit guaranteed by the Brazilian Constitution, which ensures a minimum monthly salary to people with disabilities or elderly people who are unable to support themselves.
The formula used to calculate the BPC/LOAS is simple: the benefit value is equal to a minimum wage, which in 2024 is R$ 1,412. This calculator is useful for people who need to know if they are eligible for the benefit and how much they would receive.
It is important to use this calculator when you are evaluating the possibility of requesting the BPC/LOAS. Additionally, it is essential to be careful with the necessary documentation to request the benefit, as the lack of documents can delay or even prevent the granting of the benefit.
If you have any questions about the BPC/LOAS or how to use the calculator, it is recommended to consult a specialist in social security law or contact the National Institute of Social Security (INSS).
