Ash Wednesday morning is a partial bank closure traditionally, with banks opening at noon, but the calculator does not model partial-day closures.
When did Dia da Consciência Negra become a federal holiday?
Lei nº 14.759/2023 made Dia da Consciência Negra (November 20, commemorating the death of Zumbi dos Palmares) a federal public holiday starting in 2024. Before 2024 it was a state or municipal holiday in some jurisdictions (notably Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and parts of the Northeast). Banks, federal offices, and many private employers nationwide now close on November 20.
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 federal 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. October 2022 had 21 dias úteis, so October 2023 has 1 more working day year over year.
