How to print a blank monthly calendar

This maker prints one month per page. You get the month and year as a heading, a row of full weekday names, and one box per day with the date in the top-left corner. Boxes before the 1st and after the last day are shaded and left empty. There are no holidays, notes or decorations, so the whole page is yours to write on.

Step by step

1. Pick the Month. It opens on the current month.
2. Check the Year. It also starts on the current year. Type the full four-digit year, such as 2027.
3. Choose whether the Week starts on Sunday or Monday.
4. The preview redraws as soon as you change any of these. When it looks right, click Print calendar. Only the calendar is printed, not the controls or the rest of the page.

To build a full year, print January, then change the month and print again, eleven more times. Each month comes out as its own page, ready for a binder or a clipboard.

Why some months have more rows

The calendar uses as many week rows as the month needs, from four to six. The row count depends on the month's length, the weekday it starts on, and your Week starts choice. Some 2026 examples:

The day boxes stay the same height either way, so a four-row month leaves more blank paper at the bottom. That space works well for notes or a monthly goal.

Sunday or Monday?

Wall calendars in the United States usually start on Sunday. ISO 8601, the international date standard, treats Monday as the first day of the week, and many countries outside the US print calendars that way. If you track work weeks, Monday start keeps Saturday and Sunday together at the end of each row. Match whatever your household or office already uses, so dates line up when you compare calendars.

Printing tips

• Orientation: landscape gives wider day boxes, which is handy when you write several words per day. Portrait leaves a strip of blank paper below the grid.
• Fit: if a six-row month spills onto a second page, reduce the Scale or the margins in your browser's print dialog.
• Shading: the light gray behind the weekday names and empty boxes only prints if background graphics are switched on in the print dialog. The calendar is still easy to read without it.
• Headers and footers: turn these off in the print dialog to drop the web address and date from the page edges.
• Paper: plain letter or A4 paper is fine. Use heavier paper if the calendar will hang on a fridge or wall for the whole month.

Ways to use a blank calendar

• Family schedule: one sheet on the fridge for practices, appointments and school events. Give each person a color.
• Shift work: write who works which days, or mark your own shifts and days off.
• School: mark due dates, tests and reading goals, and post it where homework gets done.
• Habit or streak tracking: put an X in each day you do the habit. For several habits at once, a dedicated habit tracker is tidier.
• Meal planning: jot down dinners for the month, then copy each week onto a shopping list.
• Countdowns: cross off the days until a trip, a birthday or the end of term.
• Logs: record medication, workouts, plant watering or pet care, one mark per day.

When a month gets too busy to fit in the boxes, switch to a page per week with the weekly planner.

Common mistakes

• Wrong year. The year defaults to today's year. If you print next January's calendar in December, change the year first.
• Short years. A two-digit year like "27" is read as 2027, so type all four digits for any year before 2000. Years run from 1900 to 2100.
• Mixed week starts. Printing some months with Sunday first and others with Monday first makes a binder hard to read. Pick one and keep it.
• Writing in pen too early. Plans change. Use pencil for tentative plans and ink once they're confirmed.
