Count a CPC procedural deadline in business days or calendar days from the date of service, with Brazilian national holidays excluded.
CPC art. 219 says that procedural deadlines are counted in business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The counting starts on the first business day after the date of service or publication — the day of service itself is not counted. If the deadline falls on a non-business day, it rolls forward to the next business day.
This calculator applies those rules: enter the date of service, the number of days, and whether they are business days or calendar days. It walks the calendar, skipping weekends and national holidays for business-day deadlines, or just skipping non-business days at the end for calendar-day deadlines. The result is the date the deadline expires.
Two important caveats. First, only national holidays are excluded here — state and municipal holidays, and court recesses (typically December 20 to January 6, and July in some courts), are NOT included because they vary by court and jurisdiction. Second, this is an informational tool, not legal advice. Always confirm the deadline against the court calendar and consult the procedural rules that apply to your specific case.
Business-day deadline: start from the first business day after service, count N business days (excluding Sat, Sun, national holidays). Calendar-day deadline: add N calendar days, then if the result falls on a non-business day, roll forward to the next business day.
No. CPC art. 224 says the deadline starts on the first business day after the date of service or publication. This tool follows that rule.
No. Court recesses (typically Dec 20 – Jan 6) suspend deadlines, and some courts have a July recess. This tool does not know which court your case is in, so it does not apply them. Check the court calendar.
They are not included. Only the 13 national holidays set by federal law are excluded. If your court observes a state or municipal holiday, the deadline may shift.
No. This is an informational calculator. Procedural rules vary by court, instance and type of action. Always confirm with the court calendar and your procedural code.
No. The calculation runs locally with the holiday formulas embedded. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
