The decision on payment will be formalized next Tuesday (28), when a meeting of the FGTS Board of Trustees is scheduled — made up of representatives from the government, employers and workers. Last year, the FGTS recorded a positive result of around R$14.6 billion. The amount to be distributed represents 89% of the profit recorded in the period. With the distribution of profit, the total profitability of the accounts last year will reach 6.90%, which will represent a real gain (above inflation) of 2.53 percentage points. Last year, the IPCA, the country's official inflation, totaled 4.26%. According to the proposal, the credit will be equivalent to an increase of 1.87% in the profitability of each account, proportional to the individual balance. If a worker has a balance of R$1,000, for example, they will have a credit in their linked account of R$18.68, and so on. The amounts must be credited to workers' accounts by August 31, 2026. According to a decision by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), FGTS remuneration must guarantee, at a minimum, correction by the IPCA in every year. Who is entitled to the deposit and how to check the amount? ?All people with accounts (active or inactive) linked to the FGTS in 2025, with a balance in December, will be entitled to receive a portion of the profits. ?The division is proportional to the balance in each account. The higher the worker's balance, the more he will receive part of the FGTS profit. ?To calculate the amount to be credited, the worker must multiply the existing balance in the FGTS account on 12/31/2025 by the index of 0.01868341. Workers will be able to check how much they will receive on the Caixa website or through the FGTS app on their cell phones. Distribution history Confirming the distribution of profit this year, the government will maintain a routine that has been in force in recent years. In 2025, the FGTS Council approved the division of 95% of the profit obtained in 2024 to workers. In total, R$12.9 billion was transferred. In 2024, the FGTS board approved the distribution of R$15.2 billion to workers relating to part of the profit recorded in the previous year. The decision was unanimous. In 2023, the FGTS recorded a record profit of R$23.4 billion. However, according to the Ministry of Labor's proposal, only part of this amount, around 65%, was allocated to workers
