Average Engineering Project Analyst Salary in Brazil for 2026

An engineering project analyst in Brazil earns about 106,440 BRL a year. That's 5% roughly in line with the national average of 101,120 BRL.

Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in Brazil sit around 48,760 BRL a year, while the very top stretches to 172,200 BRL. Everything on this page is in Brazilian real (BRL, symbol R$), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.

The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in Brazil, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.

A typical engineering project analyst working in Brazil brings home around 8,870 BRL a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 48,760 BRL, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 172,200 BRL for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior engineering project analyst working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How engineering project analyst pay ranges in Brazil

A good way to think about salary in Brazil is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all engineering project analysts in Brazil earn less than 116,180 BRL a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 72,740 BRL (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 154,700 BRL (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of engineering project analysts sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 48,760 BRL. The highest stretch to 172,200 BRL, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Engineering project analyst pay by experience in Brazil

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an engineering project analyst in Brazil, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical engineering project analyst salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    54,560 BRL
  • 2-5 Years
    +38% from previous
    75,220 BRL
  • 5-10 Years
    +48% from previous
    111,700 BRL
  • 10-15 Years
    +22% from previous
    136,200 BRL
  • 15-20 Years
    +9% from previous
    148,300 BRL
  • 20+ Years
    +7% from previous
    159,400 BRL

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 48%. That is the point at which a engineering project analyst typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Engineering project analyst pay by education in Brazil

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving engineering project analyst pay in Brazil. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Below is the average engineering project analyst salary in Brazil broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

  • Bachelor's Degree
    66,580 BRL
  • Master's Degree

    127,700 BRL

Engineering project analyst gender pay gap in Brazil

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Brazil is no exception. Male engineering project analysts in Brazil earn an average of 116,540 BRL a year, while female engineering project analysts earn around 99,340 BRL. That works out to a 17% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for an engineering project analyst in Brazil

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Brazil sees a raise of about 12% every 17 months, which works out to roughly 8% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Brazil, the national average raise is around 9% every 16 months.

Engineering project analyst bonus rates in Brazil

Bonuses are the other half of total compensation, and they vary a lot between jobs and industries. Some roles are paid almost entirely in base salary; others lean heavily on bonus structures tied to revenue, project completion or company performance. Whether a job pays a bonus, how big it is, and how often it lands all factor into whether the headline salary is actually a good offer.

59%

59% of engineering project analysts in Brazil reported a bonus of some kind in the past twelve months. That makes an engineering project analyst a moderate-bonus role overall, which is useful context when you're weighing up a job offer where the base is below market.

Among those who did receive a bonus, the size of the payment varied substantially. Reported bonuses ranged from 2% to 7% of base salary. The remaining 41% of engineering project analysts reported no bonus at all over the same period.

Which careers pay bonuses in Brazil

Revenue-facing roles tend to pay the biggest bonuses. Operational and support roles tend toward smaller, more predictable ones.

  • Finance
  • Architecture
  • Sales
  • Business Development
  • Marketing / Advertising
