Ready-made calendars
Made for the printer, not the screen
Most free calendar sites hand you a picture of a calendar. PrintPlan draws the page from scratch for the exact sheet in your tray, so an A4 calendar is not a squashed Letter one and the lines stay crisp on a cheap inkjet.
What can go on the sheet
- Holidays in colour with a list in the footer, so the dates and names never overlap the writing space.
- ISO week numbers in a narrow column on the left, the way European and project calendars show them.
- Moon phases as small discs in the corner of the day: black for new, white for full, half-shaded for the quarters.
- Your own dates: birthdays, bin days, pay days, term dates.
- Ink saver mode that drops the magenta and the weekend tint.
Those half-shaded discs are shorthand for a lopsided view of a sunlit ball; ahaboo has a narrated explainer on why the Moon has phases that unpacks what each one stands for.
Printing tips that save a sheet
- Download the PDF rather than printing the web page. It keeps the vector lines and the paper size.
- In the print dialog set scale to 100% (sometimes called "Actual size").
- Landscape suits month grids; portrait suits week and day sheets you keep in a binder.
- Printing a whole year? Tick All 12 months for one 12-page PDF and print double-sided on the short edge.
Why a calendar for A4 prints badly on Letter (and back)
A4 is 6 mm narrower but 18 mm taller than US Letter. Pick where a layout was designed, then compare the two usual fixes.
Fit-to-page shrinks an A4 layout on US Letter to 94.1%, so every 10 pt label prints at 9.4 pt and the margins go uneven. Printed at 100% instead, 18 mm falls off the bottom.
Questions people ask
Is PrintPlan really free, with no sign-up?
Yes. Every calendar is drawn in your browser and downloaded straight to your device. There is no account, no email gate and no watermark beyond a small printplan.app line in the corner.
Should I choose US Letter or A4?
Use US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) in the US, Canada, Mexico and the Philippines; use A4 (210 × 297 mm) almost everywhere else. PrintPlan guesses from your browser language and you can switch at any time; the grid is redrawn for the sheet rather than shrunk.
Why does my printout have uneven margins?
Your print dialog is probably set to "Fit to page" or the wrong paper size. Choose the paper that is in the tray and print at 100% or "Actual size". The PDF already contains 10 mm margins, which suits nearly every home printer.
Which holidays are included?
US federal holidays (including the Friday or Monday they are observed when they fall on a weekend), bank holidays for England and Wales with substitute days, or Canadian statutory holidays. You can add popular observances such as Mother’s Day and Halloween, or switch holidays off.
How do I print a calendar for free?
Choose the calendar type and paper here, press Download PDF and print the file at 100% scale. Nothing to sign up for and no watermark; the PDF is made in your browser.
Can I change the colours?
Yes. Pick one of five accent colours for headers, holidays and highlights, or switch on Ink saver for a black-only sheet.
Can I add birthdays and other dates?
Yes. Type them in plain English ("Mum’s birthday 14 March", "bins every Tuesday") and the AI date reader turns them into entries, or add them one by one. They repeat weekly, monthly or yearly if you want, and stay saved in this browser only.
How accurate are the moon phases?
They are calculated with the lunar phase formulas in Jean Meeus’ Astronomical Algorithms, which are accurate to within a minute or two. Dates are shown in your own time zone once the page loads, so a full moon late on the 5th in New York will not be printed on the 6th.
What are ISO week numbers?
The numbering used across Europe and in business planning: weeks run Monday to Sunday and week 1 is the week that contains the year’s first Thursday. Most years have 52 weeks; some have 53.
