As is customary, at the end of each year the values of retirement benefits, as well as pensions and minimum wages, are readjusted. That's because, with the economic effect of oscillating prices and the cost of living in general, the readjustment is made so that there is compatibility.

In this way, as well as the minimum wage, retirement and pensions had a slight increase, which represents the increase in inflation in 2021. For this, the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) is used, precisely to measure the inflationary action in the country.
See now what retirement amount in 2022!
As already mentioned, the readjustment is based on the percentage increase in current inflation for each year. Thus, according to data from the Ministry of Economy, the readjustment on pension values will be 10.18%, the inflationary percentage indicated by the INPC.
Likewise, the value of the minimum wage was corrected, which rose from R$ 1,100 to BRL 1,212 this year, with a slight rounding in the percentage.
Still regarding the minimum wage, it is worth remembering that not all states are adhering to the minimum wage dictated by the Federal Government. The states of São Paulo, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, for example, established their own salary floor. In these cases, the minimum wage will be higher than that defined in the national floor.
To answer this question, it is necessary to understand that retirement and pensions also follow the value of the minimum wage. Likewise, the adjustments applied to the minimum wage are also applied to the amounts of INSS benefits.
With this, retirees who received the benefit of R$ 1,100, the former minimum wage, now receive R$ 1,212. The same goes for those who receive the Benefit of Continued Provision (BPC), also based on the percentage of the INPC.
Remembering that for retirees who receive benefits above a minimum wage, just apply the same percentage of 10.18% to last year's value.
