The 3 weekend-falling feriados nacionais in 2027 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 10 weekday-falling entries. Brazil observes 13 federal public holidays (Dia da Consciência Negra became federal in 2024 under Lei nº 14.759/2023). Carnival Monday and Tuesday and Corpus Christi are facultative federal holidays observed nationwide.

Holidays not included

Brazilian state and municipal holidays (e.g., São Paulo Anniversary on January 25, Rio de Janeiro Saint Sebastian on January 20, Bahia Independence on July 2) are excluded from this federal set. For state-specific contracts, add the local dates under the calculator's Advanced options. Carnival dates and Corpus Christi shift each year with Easter and are gazetted as ponto facultativo for federal employees but are observed nationwide in practice.
