🗓️ Printable Calendar Maker

Build a print ready calendar PDF for any year: a monthly wall calendar, the whole year on one page, a weekly planner, or a photo calendar. Pick your paper, week start, holidays and your own dates. Free, no signup, nothing uploaded.

Calendar type

Start in August with 12 months for an academic year. The year rolls over on its own.

Paper
Orientation

Grid options

Holiday dates are worked out from the real rules, including Easter and the nth weekday rules, rather than looked up from a fixed table, so any year from 1978 onwards comes out right. Holiday law does change, so check a date before you print a hundred copies.

Format: MM-DD Name for something yearly, or YYYY-MM-DD Name for a one off. Slashes and dots work too.

Preview

A rough on screen preview of the first month so you can check the week start, holidays and your own dates. The PDF is laid out properly in millimetres for real paper, so it will not look identical to this box.

Why generate a calendar instead of downloading one

Most "printable calendar" results are a fixed PDF someone made for one particular year, with one week start and one country's holidays baked in. If you need 2029, or a Monday start, or an academic year that runs August to July, none of them fit and you end up paying for a template pack or a design subscription. This page builds the exact calendar you asked for, in your browser, and hands you the PDF.

The four types

Month per page is the classic wall calendar: one big grid per sheet, with room to write in each day. Year on one page puts every month on a single sheet for a desk or a noticeboard. Weekly planner gives one sheet per week with ruled space for each day plus a notes block. Photo calendar is the month per page layout with your own picture above each grid, which is the version people normally pay for.

How the holidays are worked out

Holidays are calculated from the rules, not copied from a table, so a calendar for 2031 comes out as right as one for this year. That covers the Easter chain, the nth weekday rules such as the fourth Thursday in November, and the substitute weekday when a fixed date lands on a weekend. Eight countries are supported: the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Germany and France. The rules used are the ones in force today, which covers any year from 1978 onwards. Earlier years ran on different rules that are not modelled here, so for a historic year pick "No holidays" and add the dates yourself.

Holidays that are not fixed by a rule are deliberately left out rather than guessed. Eid, Diwali, Chinese New Year, the Jewish holidays, Matariki in New Zealand and the regional or state days in most countries are set year by year or by local sighting, so no rule can produce them correctly. If you need one of those, add it yourself in the "your own dates" box and it will print with the rest. Always sanity check a date before you print a hundred copies.

Printing it

Print at 100 percent scale, not "fit to page", and the margins will land where they were designed to. The pages are laid out in millimetres for true A4 or US Letter, and all the text is vector, so it stays sharp at any size a printer can manage. Black and grey mode is there if you want the wall calendar without spending colour ink on it.
