For foreigners who are allowed up to 180 days in every 365, the measurement period is a rolling twelve months. Every time a foreigner arrives in Brazil, the Immigration system looks back at the previous twelve months and counts the number of days during that period that the person was in Brazil. If it was 180 or over, the person will probably be denied entry. If it was less than 180, the visitor is allowed 180 minus that number. Since it's a rolling measure, every time the month changes the oldest month drops off. Any days that the visitor used in that month become available again.
For travelers allowed 90 days in every 180 days the principle is the same, the measurement period is just shorter.
