A typical intake coordinator working in Brazil brings home around 4,210 BRL a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 25,680 BRL, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 80,580 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 intake coordinator 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 intake coordinator 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 intake coordinators in Brazil earn less than 50,180 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 33,980 BRL (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 67,900 BRL (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of intake coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 25,680 BRL. The highest stretch to 80,580 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.

Intake coordinator pay by experience in Brazil

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an intake coordinator 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 intake coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    31,540 BRL
  • 2-5 Years
    +21% from previous
    38,060 BRL
  • 5-10 Years
    +38% from previous
    52,380 BRL
  • 10-15 Years
    +27% from previous
    66,580 BRL
  • 15-20 Years
    +4% from previous
    69,540 BRL
  • 20+ Years
    +5% from previous
    73,020 BRL

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 38%. That is the point at which a intake coordinator 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.


Intake coordinator pay by education in Brazil

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving intake coordinator 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 intake coordinator salary in Brazil broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

    40,600 BRL
  • Bachelor's Degree

Intake coordinator gender pay gap in Brazil

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Brazil is no exception. Male intake coordinators in Brazil earn an average of 53,840 BRL a year, while female intake coordinators earn around 48,740 BRL. That works out to a 10% 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 intake coordinator in Brazil
