Common questions
How many working days does 2027 have in Italy?
255 — 261 Mon–Fri weekdays minus 6 national holidays that land on a weekday. Regional and local holidays sit outside the national set and would lower the number further where they apply.
How many working days is that per month, on average?
About 21.3 per month — but the spread matters more than the average: 66 working days in Q3 against 61 in Q1. A plan that assumes a flat month overcommits exactly where the calendar is thinnest.
Does this include vacation or booked time off?
No — this is the ceiling the calendar sets before anyone books leave. A team’s real capacity subtracts each person’s time off and part-time arrangement from these days; that is what the capacity calculator computes for a whole team, per member country.
Rule source: Legge 260/1949, rules last verified 2026-08-03. National holidays only; each municipality's patron saint day (29 June in Rome, 7 December in Milan) is excluded. Easter Sunday is omitted; it never falls on a working day. Italy has no weekend substitution.
Now subtract your actual team
255 days is the calendar’s ceiling for one person in Italy. A real team spans countries, books leave, and works part-time — the calculator does that arithmetic for your headcount in seconds, no account.
