Only two states receive more Pix than they pay
Only two states receive more Pix than they pay, the Federal District and São Paulo. In the 12 months through September 2026, the DF received R$ 1.50 for every R$ 1 it paid, while São Paulo stood at R$ 1.01 and the other 25 states together at R$ 0.97.
Among individuals the DF is balanced, at 0.98. What tips the scale is companies, which receive R$ 1.83 for every R$ 1 they pay. The Central Bank counts Pix by the account holder's municipality, so part of this may be companies headquartered in Brasília receiving from customers across the country, and the series does not separate one from the other.
