2027 has 261 days from Monday to Friday. Take away the 7 national holidays that fall on one of them and 254 working days remain. On a six-day week, Monday to Saturday, there are 304. The town's patron saint removes one more day when it falls on a weekday: in Roma Santi Pietro e Paolo falls on a Tuesday and working days number 253, in Milano Sant'Ambrogio falls on a Tuesday and working days number 253, in Napoli San Gennaro falls on a Sunday and working days number 254. The shortest month is January with 19 days, because New Year's Day and Epiphany fall on weekdays; the longest reach 22. The total equals 2026 and is 5 days more than 2028. The count matters for day-rate contracts, deadlines in working days and project planning.

Working days month by month, 2026-2028

The table compares three years. The differences come from the holidays: in 2028 nearly all fall on weekdays and working days go down, in 2027 many land on the weekend and working days stay high.

The patron saint and other variables

The count covers national holidays only. The patron saint's day applies in the town where you work, not where you live, and most collective agreements recognise it; if it falls on a Sunday or on another holiday it takes nothing away. In Rome, for instance, Saints Peter and Paul fall on 29 June, a Tuesday. Choose it in the "Your town" field under the extra options.

For shift work or reduced hours, a count in days is not enough: contractual hours matter. For deadlines, remember that Sundays are holidays under Law 260 of 1949, while Saturday is an ordinary weekday.

Common questions

How many working days are there in Italy in 2027?

254 from Monday to Friday without the patron saint; 304 on a six-day week. If your town's patron saint falls on a weekday, take one off. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are working days by law; if your contract gives them off, take two more away.

Is Saturday a working day in Italy?

It depends on the contract. In the civil calendar Saturday is an ordinary weekday, not a holiday; for anyone on a five-day week it is a rest day. Many legal deadlines that fall on a Saturday move to the next working day: check the specific rule.

How many working days does each month of 2027 have?

January 19, February 20, October 20; May and June 21, November 21; the other months 22. The table on this page compares them with 2026 and 2028. Over the whole year, Monday to Friday, there are 254 before your town’s patron saint is taken off.
