Brazil February deadlines

Carnival Monday and Tuesday fall 48 and 47 days before Easter Sunday, which puts them in February or in the first days of March; in 2027 they are 8 and 9 February. Neither is a feriado nacional, and for federal staff both are only ponto facultativo under the annual portaria of the Ministério da Gestão e da Inovação em Serviços Públicos, but article 6 of Resolução CMN 4.880/2020 takes them out of the business days for financial-market operations, so banks do not settle on them and this calculator does not count them. Ash Wednesday stays a business day on which banks may open with special hours (art. 2); in 2026 B3 began trading at 13:00 that day. Social-security contributions on January's pay are due by February 20, and from February to November the employer pays the 13º salário advance, half of the previous month's salary in a single payment (Lei 4.749/1965, art. 2).

Those dates in 2027

None of the dates named above falls on a working day in 2027 under the Brazilian bank calendar. A fixed calendar date advances by one weekday in a common year and two after a leap day, so which side of the working week it lands on changes on a four-year cycle rather than staying put.

Brazil reporting cycles and business-day rules

Brazilian business days in this calculator follow the financial system rather than the labour calendar, and its thirteen closure days a year are of three kinds. Nine are feriados nacionais by federal statute: seven under article 1 of Lei 662/1949 as amended by Lei 10.607/2002, 12 October under Lei 6.802/1980 and 20 November under Lei 14.759/2023. Good Friday reads two ways: the federal government's annual list prints it as a feriado nacional, while Lei 9.093/1995 counts it among the religious holidays that municipal law declares, and FEBRABAN's bank-holiday calendar lists it. Carnival Monday and Tuesday and Corpus Christi are only ponto facultativo for federal staff, under the annual portaria of the Ministério da Gestão e da Inovação em Serviços Públicos. The calculator counts them because article 6 of Resolução CMN 4.880/2020 takes them, with weekends and national holidays, out of the business days for financial-market operations, and the Banco Central's STR settles only on the days that remain. B3's 2026 trading calendar also has no session on 24 or 31 December, which are business days for the financial system and which this calculator counts as business days. Two payroll deadlines share the 20th of the month after the payroll month: the FGTS deposit under article 15 of Lei 8.036/1990, as amended by Lei 14.438/2022, and the social-security contributions a company withholds and owes under article 30, I, b of Lei 8.212/1991, which fall due on the business day before when there is no banking on the 20th. The 13º salário comes from Lei 4.090/1962, not the CLT, and Lei 4.749/1965 sets its payment by December 20 with a half-salary advance between February and November.

How February 2027 compares year over year

February 2026 also had 18 dias úteis, so the working capacity is unchanged year over year. On the surrounding months, January 2027 has 20 dias úteis and March 2027 has 22. Looking forward, February 2028 has 19 dias úteis under the same Brazilian bank holiday calendar.

Using this calculator in Brazil

A São Paulo treasury team uses the 18-day February 2027 count because the Banco Central do Brasil's STR, which settles transfers in real time and operation by operation, runs only on the days Resolução CMN 4.880/2020 treats as business days for financial-market operations. A Belo Horizonte payroll controller works to the two deadlines that share the 20th of the month after the payroll month, the FGTS deposit under Lei 8.036/1990 and the social-security contributions under Lei 8.212/1991, and knows the social-security payment moves to the business day before when banks are shut on the 20th. The same controller schedules the 13º salário, whose half-salary advance is due between February and November and whose balance is due by December 20 under Lei 4.749/1965.

How February 2027 is shaped

The headline count answers how many dias úteis February 2027 contains. It does not answer where they sit, and for anything measured in consecutive days rather than cumulative days that second question is the binding one. What follows is derived entirely from the Brazilian bank holiday calendar and a working week that treats sábado and domingo as the weekend, with no assumption about how any particular obligation behaves.

The only month whose length changes

February is the shortest month and the only one whose length is not fixed, running 28 days in a common year and 29 in a leap year. A 28-day February is exactly four seven-day cycles, which makes it the only month capable of containing precisely four of every weekday. February 2027 runs 28 days, so it has that perfectly regular shape.

In February 2027 that comes to 18 dias úteis across 28 calendar days, against 20 in January 2027 and 22 in March 2027.

A clean start to the working week

February 2027 opens on the first working day of the week. That is the alignment where the month's own numbering and the working week agree: week one of the month is a whole working week that belongs entirely to February, with nothing borrowed from the month before. Of the 5 possible starts this is the only one where "the first week" and "the first 5 dias úteis" describe the same span.

The opening stretch runs from Monday, February 1 to February 5, five dias úteis before the first break. February 2027 carries 18 dias úteis in total, so that opening block is 28% of the month's working capacity.

How the working days break up

The working days of February 2027 fall into four separate stretches. The count of stretches matters more than it looks: a month's total is the sum of its runs, but a deliverable that needs consecutive days is limited by the longest single run, and the two numbers move independently.

The working days of February 2027 arrive in stretches of 5, 3, 5, and 5 days. The longest unbroken stretch runs five days, from February 1 to February 5. A task needing more consecutive dias úteis than that cannot be completed inside a single stretch, whatever the month's total looks like.

The month is balanced end to end. Its opening and closing stretches are the same length, five days each, so work pushed from the start of February to its end finds the same amount of room it left behind. That symmetry is the exception rather than the rule.

The only perfectly regular month

A 28-day February is exactly four seven-day cycles, so every weekday occurs four times and no weekday is over-represented. It is the only month of the year that can be perfectly regular, and it means February's working-day count in a common year depends on nothing but its holidays: the weekday alignment cannot change the answer.

Only Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday among them are working days, so part of the surplus is absorbed by the sábado and domingo weekend and never reaches the working total. That split is why two months of the same length can carry different working-day counts without any holiday being involved.

Two closures in the month

Two Brazilian bank holidays fall on working days in February 2027: Carnaval (segunda) on Monday, February 8 and Carnaval (terça) on Tuesday, February 9. Two closures remove two days from the total, but their effect on the month's usable structure depends on how far apart they are.

The two sit one calendar day apart, close enough that the working days between them are hemmed in on both sides. A pair this tight behaves more like one long interruption than two separate ones.

five working days pass before the closure and 13 follow it, which puts the break just short of the month's midpoint. A closure near the middle divides the month into two usable halves rather than trimming one end of it.

The closures around this month

February 2027 carries two Brazilian bank closures of its own, and the months on either side add their own. Where a deadline sits close to a month boundary, the closure that moves it is as likely to be outside the month as inside it.

Looking outside the month, the last was Confraternização Universal on January 1, 2027, 31 calendar days before February began and the next is Sexta-feira Santa on March 26, 2027, 26 calendar days after it ends.

Across the whole of 2027 the Brazilian bank calendar puts ten closures on working days, of which two fall in February. That ratio, rather than the raw count, is what tells you whether a month is carrying more than its share of the year's downtime.

The month ends over a weekend

February 2027 ends on a Sunday, which this calendar treats as weekend. Month-end processing cannot happen on the last calendar day, so it happens earlier and the last few dates of the month carry no settlement at all. The distance between the final working day and the final calendar day is where month-end reconciliations go missing.

The last working day of February 2027 is Friday, February 26. Counting back from there, the third-to-last is Wednesday, February 24, four calendar days before the month closes.

The working month ends on the last working day of a week, so the final stretch is a complete one and nothing is left hanging mid-week. Two calendar days of February follow it with nothing settling on them.

The middle month of the quarter

February is the middle month of Q1. Middle months carry the least visibility in a quarterly cycle: the opening month sets expectations and the closing month is where they are settled, so a shortfall here is the one most likely to be noticed late.

Across the whole quarter there are 60 dias úteis, of which 18 fall in February. The other two months carry January 2027 with 20 and March 2027 with 22. It is the smallest of the three, so the quarter's capacity sits mostly in the other two months and a plan that spreads work evenly across the quarter will over-commit February.

The week's first working day is the scarcest

The first working day of the week is the one February gives least often. Anything anchored to the start of the working week (a weekly kickoff, a Monday-morning cutoff, a start-of-week batch) fires fewer times this month than the calendar count suggests, because a closure has taken one of them out.

Counted as worked rather than as occurring, February 2027 gives Monday 3, Tuesday 3, Wednesday 4, Thursday 4, and Friday 4. A weekly commitment pinned to a particular weekday fires that many times in the month, which is the number a rota needs and not the one the calendar shows.

One of the year's shortest working months

No month of 2027 carries fewer dias úteis than February under the Brazilian bank calendar. Two forces set a month's position in that ranking, its length and its closures, and they can either compound or cancel: a long month with several closures and a short month with none can land on the same count.

2027 carries 251 dias úteis in total under the Brazilian bank calendar. The longest month of the year is December 2027 with 23 and the shortest is February 2027 with 18, a spread of 5. February ranks 12th of the twelve with 18.

Inside one of the year's denser months

February 2027 carries more than one Brazilian bank closure, which puts it among the year's denser months. Closures are never spread evenly across a year, so a month's own count says as much about the country's calendar as about the month.

Across 2027 the Brazilian bank closures fall 4 in Q1, 2 in Q2, 1 in Q3, and 3 in Q4. A further three holidays land on the sábado and domingo weekend and cost no working day at all, which is why a country's holiday count and its working-day loss are different numbers.

The longest uninterrupted run in the 2027 calendar sits between May 27, 2027 and September 7, 2027, 103 calendar days with no Brazilian bank closure in between. Stretches like that are where multi-week work belongs, and they move from year to year whenever a movable holiday does.

Where the month sits in the year's closure pattern

Closures are not spread evenly across a calendar year. They cluster around fixed anniversaries and around whichever lunar or movable feasts a jurisdiction observes, so two adjacent months can carry very different loads, and the Brazilian bank calendar is no exception.

2027 opens its Brazilian bank closures with Confraternização Universal on January 1, 2027 and ends them with Proclamação da República on November 15, 2027. The densest month of the year is February 2027 with two closures on working days.

The same count as last year

February 2027 and February 2026 carry the same number of dias úteis, 18 in each. An unchanged total does not mean an unchanged month: the working days sit on different dates and break into different stretches, so a schedule copied forward date by date will not line up even though the capacity has not moved.

February opens 2026 on a Sunday, 2027 on a Monday, and 2028 on a Tuesday. That movement, one weekday in a common year and two after a leap day, is what makes the three counts differ. The number of closures on working days is the same in both years, so the whole of any difference comes from weekday alignment. Looking ahead, February 2028 carries 19 dias úteis.

Where the month's anchor dates fall

Two of the common monthly anchor dates in February 2027 land outside the working week or on a closure. The table below resolves each one against the Brazilian bank calendar, together with the first working day on or after it.

DateWeekdayStatus under the Brazilian bank calendarFirst working day on or after

The final column is arithmetic, not a legal conclusion. Whether an obligation actually moves when its date is not a working day depends on the instrument that sets it, and this site does not assume a shift rule for any jurisdiction. Where a rule is known it is stated in the holiday data methodology and on the country page it applies to.

Net terms dated in February 2027

An invoice dated the 1st of February on calendar-day Net 30 terms comes due on March 3, 2027, a working day under the Brazilian bank calendar. Terms counted in calendar days move independently of the working week, so the same term written on two consecutive months can settle cleanly in one and roll across a closure in the other.

Invoice dateNet 30, calendar daysNet 60, calendar days
Dated February 1March 3, 2027April 2, 2027
Dated February 15March 17, 2027April 16, 2027
Dated February 28March 30, 2027April 29, 2027

Net 30 and Net 60 are commercial conventions rather than statutory periods, and both are counted here in calendar days, which is how they are almost always written. Where a contract counts in working days instead, use the between-dates calculator with the Brazil calendar selected, because the two produce different dates whenever a closure falls inside the term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many business days are in February 2027 under the Brazilian bank holiday calendar?
February 2027 has 18 dias úteis under the Brazilian bank holiday calendar. The month spans 28 calendar days, of which 8 fall on a weekend and 2 are Brazilian bank holidays that land on a weekday. The remaining 18 weekdays are countable as dias úteis for invoicing, deadline tracking, and contract math.
Which Brazil holidays affect February 2027?
February 2027 contains 2 Brazilian bank holidays: Carnaval (segunda) on Monday, February 8; Carnaval (terça) on Tuesday, February 9. The calculator skips each of them. Regional or industry-specific closures may add further non-working days for narrower contract definitions; layer them into the calculator's Advanced options if needed.
Are Carnival and Corpus Christi national holidays in Brazil?
No. Federal statute makes nine days feriados nacionais: 1 January, 21 April, 1 May, 7 September, 2 November, 15 November and 25 December under Lei 662/1949 as amended by Lei 10.607/2002, 12 October under Lei 6.802/1980 and 20 November under Lei 14.759/2023. Carnival Monday and Tuesday, 48 and 47 days before Easter Sunday, and Corpus Christi, the Thursday 60 days after it, are ponto facultativo: each year a portaria of the Ministério da Gestão e da Inovação em Serviços Públicos sets them for the federal administration only (Portaria MGI 11.460/2025 for 2026), and it binds no private employer. This calculator counts them anyway, because article 6 of Resolução CMN 4.880/2020 makes all three non-business days for financial-market operations, so banks do not settle on them. Good Friday reads two ways: Lei 9.093/1995 counts it among the religious holidays that municipal law declares, while the federal government's annual list prints it as a feriado nacional. The calculator counts it with the national holidays, as FEBRABAN's bank-holiday calendar does. Ash Wednesday stays a business day, on which the same resolution allows banks special opening hours.
When did Dia da Consciência Negra become a national holiday?
Lei 14.759 of 21 December 2023 declared 20 November a feriado nacional, the Dia Nacional de Zumbi e da Consciência Negra, with effect from its publication, so 20 November 2024 was the first time it fell as a national holiday. As a national holiday it is also a non-business day for financial-market operations under article 6 of Resolução CMN 4.880/2020, and B3's 2026 trading calendar lists it among the exchange's closures. Because it always falls on the 20th, it always coincides with the due date for the social-security contributions a company owes for October, which then moves to the business day before under article 30, § 2º, II of Lei 8.212/1991.
Why does the business-day count vary year to year?
Two things shift the monthly count for Brazil. First, the day of the week the first of the month lands on changes the count of each weekday. Second, Brazilian bank holidays anchored to a fixed date shift their weekday across years. Some years a fixed-date holiday lands on a weekend; some countries shift the observance to an adjacent weekday and some absorb it into the weekend. February 2026 also had 18 dias úteis, so the working capacity is unchanged year over year.
When is the last working day of February 2027?
The last working day of February 2027 under the Brazilian bank calendar is Friday, February 26. The month's last calendar day is Sunday, February 28, which is not a working day, so month-end processing has to happen two calendar days earlier than the calendar suggests. Counting back, the third-to-last working day is Wednesday, February 24.
How many working days in a row does February 2027 offer?
February 2027 has 18 dias úteis in total, but they do not run consecutively. They arrive in four stretches of 5, 3, 5, and 5 days, so the longest unbroken run is five days, from February 1 to February 5. No working day in the month is isolated between two closures.
