Carpenter Salary in Brazil

Carpenter pay in Brazil: São Paulo leads, Rio de Janeiro trails

The Brazil national median for a carpenter is R$ 137.000 a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about R$ 89.900 in Rio de Janeiro to R$ 98.700 in São Paulo (1.1×).

Carpenters build and repair structures and fixtures from wood and other materials. Common screening skills include Framing, Finishing, Blueprints, and Tools.

A modeled national band runs about R$ 93.800–R$ 189.700 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +4% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Brazilian city.

São Paulo sits -28% vs the national median; Rio de Janeiro sits -34%. Relocating inside Brazil for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

Brazil shows about 5% CPI in 2025. A carpenter raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby skilled trades titles on this site include Electrician, Plumber, Chef, and Welder.
