The 4 weekend dates in 2024 fall on a Saturday or Sunday, days the count already excludes, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 9 weekday dates. Brazil's count here is the financial system's. Article 6 of Resolução CMN 4.880/2020 takes national holidays out of the business days for financial-market operations and adds Carnival Monday and Tuesday and Corpus Christi, which on the federal government's list for 2026 (Portaria MGI 11.460/2025 of the Ministério da Gestão e da Inovação em Serviços Públicos) are only ponto facultativo for federal staff. Nine of the thirteen days are feriados nacionais by federal statute: Lei 662/1949 as amended by Lei 10.607/2002, Lei 6.802/1980, and Lei 14.759/2023, which added 20 November from 2024. Good Friday is printed as a feriado nacional on that 2026 list and is a municipal religious holiday under Lei 9.093/1995.

Holidays not included

State and municipal holidays are not in this set. Lei 9.093/1995 lets a state fix its data magna by state law and a municipality declare up to four religious holidays a year, Good Friday among them; add the local dates under the calculator's Advanced options. The trading calendar is a separate list again: B3's 2026 calendar has no session on 24 or 31 December, days that remain business days for the financial system and that this calculator counts, and keeps trading on 9 July, the Revolução Constitucionalista holiday.
