Local calculation

The calculation uses Saturday and Sunday as the normal weekend. National holidays are supplemented by state and municipal holidays. Carnival, Corpus Christi and other ponto facultativo dates may affect public offices without being identical to nationwide statutory days off for every worker.

Plan with the exact date

Choose the exact Brazilian city because the country spans multiple offsets. Confirm state, municipal and employer rules before treating a listed observance as a non-working day.

Source and coverage

Official annual calendar checked. Nationwide statutory holidays. Optional federal-office, state and municipal dates are omitted.

Primary source: Brazilian federal administration 2026 holiday ordinance. Critical payroll, legal and travel dates should still be confirmed with the relevant local authority.
