What it does and when to use it

A printed month on the wall works for the whole household or team without anyone opening an app. Use it for school terms, shift patterns, a club’s fixtures, a content calendar, or a habit tracker where you cross off each day. The large day boxes leave room for two or three short notes.

For a closer look at each day, print the weekly planner alongside it. Turn key dates into calendar invites with the iCal event generator, or count down to the big one with countdown to date.

How it works

The tool finds the weekday of the 1st of the month and the number of days in it, then fills a grid of seven columns, leaving blank shaded boxes before the 1st and after the last day. Day numbers sit at the top left of each box in bold type.

The month and year print as a large heading in your colour, with the label to its right in grey. Day names use three letters. Page margins are 12 mm, and the row height is the page height minus 54 mm, divided by the number of weeks, so the grid always fills the page. The notes column is 48 mm wide with ruled lines.

Worked examples

November 2026, Monday first (the preset). 1 November 2026 is a Sunday, so the first row has six blank boxes and the 1st sits in the last column. The month needs 6 rows, and on A4 landscape each row is 26 mm tall. The last date, 30, falls on a Monday.

The same month, Sunday first. Now the 1st is in the first column and the month fits in 5 rows, each 31.2 mm tall.

February 2028 for a club. Month February, year 2028, Sunday first, portrait, notes column off, label “Swim club”. 2028 is a leap year, so the grid ends on the 29th. It needs 5 rows, and on portrait A4 each row is 48.6 mm tall, which leaves plenty of space to write.

Limits and tips

  • One month per page. There is no year-at-a-glance layout.
  • Set the print scale to 100% and margins to “Default” or “None” in your browser’s print window, so the grid is not reduced.
  • If your printer cannot print to the edge, a thin strip near the border may be cut off; check the print preview first.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some months have six rows?
A month needs six rows when it starts late in the week and has enough days to spill into a sixth week. November 2026 starts on a Sunday, so with Monday first it needs six rows; with Sunday first it fits in five.
Does it handle leap years?
Yes. February has 29 days in leap years, such as 2028, and 28 otherwise, following the Gregorian calendar rules.
Why does the year start at 1583?
The calendar uses Gregorian rules, which began in October 1582. Earlier dates followed other calendars, so the tool does not offer them.
Are public holidays marked?
No. Holidays differ by country and region, so the grid is left blank for you to write them in. Weekend dates are printed in your chosen colour to help you find your way around the month.
How do I print a whole year?
Make each month in turn and print or save it. Setting the same colour and label every time gives you a matching set.
