How the Brazil Digital Nomad Visa Income Calculator works

Required = Base + Family add-ons, Base = k × Indicator (or a fixed amount), Margin = Income × FX ÷ Required − 1

This page uses the same method as the Digital Nomad Visa Eligibility Checker, which explains each term and assumption in full.

Worked example

A single remote worker earning $2,000 a month, paid in US dollars, applying for Brazil's Digital Nomad Visa (VITEM XIV).

  1. 1Brazil sets the threshold at $1,500 a month
  2. 2At $1 per US dollar (ECB, 2026-09-24), $2,000 a month is $2,000
  3. 3That is 33% above the line, which is $1,500 a month in dollars

They clear Brazil's financial requirement with room to spare.

Frequently asked questions

How much income do I need for the Brazil Digital Nomad Visa (VITEM XIV) in 2026?

$1,500 a month for a single applicant, read as the income you can show in your statements. Savings of $18,000 qualify instead. Income must come from outside Brazil.

Can I use savings instead of income for Brazil?

Yes. Brazil accepts either a foreign income of USD 1,500 a month or USD 18,000 available in a bank account. The calculator checks both and shows whichever route works.

Is Brazil's requirement the lowest of any digital nomad visa?

Among the major programmes, yes. It is well below the USD 3,000 or more most of Europe and Latin America ask, though a residence visa makes you tax resident in Brazil from day one.

How is the Digital Nomad Visa (VITEM XIV) taxed?

Brazil treats you as tax resident from your first day on a residence visa, on worldwide income at up to 27.5%.
