How we price this in Brazil
Brazil national base ranges come from named Brazilian sources (repair-service price pages and parts sources), in reais and never converted from another currency. We localize them with average household per-capita income differences by state (IBGE, PNAD Contínua 2023): no official wage series exists specifically for appliance-repair technicians by state, so we use this general regional income index as a proxy (flagged as an estimate, not an occupation-specific fact). There is also no Brazilian equivalent of the U.S. Regional Price Parity, so the price and overhead terms stay at the national baseline. There is no single national VAT: the service is taxed by municipal ISS (2%–5%, set by each city) and parts by state ICMS — many independent technicians do not itemize this tax in a quote. Prices are in Brazilian reais and never converted from another currency. The full formula, weights, clamp, and source vintages are on the methodology page.
