The government is already reviewing the value of the 2023 minimum wage, present in the Bill of Budgetary Guidelines. What is surprising is that the readjustment proposed to Congress only covers the increase in inflation, without causing a real gain to the worker.

Following macroeconomic data such as GDP, INPC and IPCA, which measure inflation, it is estimated that this year it will reach 8.1%. If it continues like this until the end of the year, in 2023 the minimum wage will be increased to R$ 1,310, that is, an increase of R$ 98 from the current value.
The calculation of the minimum wage increase takes into account the purchasing power of workers, with a reassessment of the cost of living, considering the average price of inputs on the market. With this information, the value is corrected so that the worker can guarantee his subsistence.
As the indicated increase is based on the INPC percentages, the increase in the minimum wage will not bring a real gain for the worker and will only be a replacement due to inflation, reducing the loss of power of purchase.
In this way, the worker will be able to buy the same things he bought before, but without the chance to buy more. Therefore, we say that there will be no real gain, as this is a compensatory increase.
Currently, the national minimum wage is R$ 1,212, which is the lowest amount that can be paid by a company to its employees. With the increase in inflation this year, purchasing power has been extremely damaged. The new minimum wage, at least, will no longer bring so much harm to the consumer.
