The 1 weekend-falling días festivos in 2028 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 9 weekday-falling entries. Spain observes up to 14 fiestas laborables per year, set annually by Real Decreto and combining 9 nationally-fixed days, 2 Comunidad Autónoma-set, and 2 municipality-set days. This calculator uses the national set; regional and municipal additions vary by year and place.
