The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay.

A typical photogrammetrist working in Brazil brings home around 4,558 BRL a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 29,840 BRL, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 84,040 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 photogrammetrist 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 photogrammetrist 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 photogrammetrists in Brazil earn less than 50,540 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 35,260 BRL (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 66,580 BRL (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of photogrammetrists sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 29,840 BRL. The highest stretch to 84,040 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.

Photogrammetrist pay by experience in Brazil

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

  • 0-2 Years
    34,080 BRL
  • 2-5 Years
    +23% from previous
    41,820 BRL
  • 5-10 Years
    +33% from previous
    55,580 BRL
  • 10-15 Years
    +23% from previous
    68,360 BRL
  • 15-20 Years
    +7% from previous
    73,020 BRL
  • 20+ Years
    +7% from previous
    78,160 BRL

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 33%. That is the point at which a photogrammetrist 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.


Photogrammetrist pay by education in Brazil

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

  • Certificate or Diploma

Photogrammetrist gender pay gap in Brazil

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Brazil is no exception. Male photogrammetrists in Brazil earn an average of 57,800 BRL a year, while female photogrammetrists earn around 53,860 BRL. That works out to a 7% 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 a photogrammetrist in Brazil

A typical worker doing this role in Brazil sees a raise of about 11% every 16 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.

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.
