Printable Calendar 2026

Family plans that everyone can see

Keep school dates, appointments and shared plans on one monthly page. Writing lines leave room for changes by hand; dated notes keep the important details in the accompanying list.

A classroom with a predictable rhythm

Print a month for reading goals or a quarter for term planning. Add your school’s own dates rather than treating public holidays as a complete school calendar.

A team looking beyond this week

Use a yearly overview to see project milestones together. A quarter gives more room for planning; ISO week numbers help when your team already works with numbered weeks.

Travel and time away

Compare actual holidays with substitute days before planning a trip. Choose the specific regional calendar, and confirm closures with your employer, school or destination.

Four views, one setup

Yearly gives an overview; monthly gives each date more space. Quarterly shows the three-month block containing your chosen month, and half-year shows January–June or July–December.

Week starts and ISO numbering

Monday and Sunday starts rearrange the grid without changing any dates. ISO weeks always run Monday–Sunday; on a Sunday-start calendar the row label refers to the Monday in that row.

Regional holidays, clearly labelled

Choose from 21 selected regional calendars. Actual dates show the holiday itself; observed days show substitute days where the rules provide them. Both includes each separately, with a dated list so a coloured mark is not your only clue.

Paper and orientation

A4 and Letter have different proportions. Choose portrait or landscape before printing: the printed grid is laid out for that paper rather than copied from the screen. Browser and printer margins can still change the final result.

Writing lines, weekends and today

Writing lines are optional, including in monthly view. Weekend shading follows Saturday and Sunday, not every region’s working week. Today uses your device’s local date and appears only when you enable it.

Titles and dated notes

A title can contain up to 60 characters. Add up to 50 notes of 160 characters each, one per date; adding the same date updates its note. The month view shows a short extract and the dated list preserves the full text. Notes remain in this tab, not an account.

Print, PDF, image or calendar file

Print and Save PDF open your browser’s print dialog. PNG exports the calendar with its dated list and ClockTools branding. Calendar export contains the selected months’ holidays and notes as all-day events; it does not export empty days or create reminder notifications.

Ink saver and sharing

Black-and-white mode removes colour from the preview and exports, not just shadows. Share preserves the year, view, month, region and other options. The link also contains your title and notes, so check it before sharing private plans.

Why does the calendar need a leap day?

The calendar follows the solar year, but the Earth does not finish an orbit in exactly 365 days. Whole-day pages must account for that fraction. The Gregorian calendar, introduced in 1582, refines the older Julian system so seasonal dates drift much more slowly. It was not adopted everywhere at once.

Our calendar uses Gregorian arithmetic throughout 1900–2100. That makes it useful for modern planning and date checking, but not a reconstruction of every country’s historical calendar during its transition. A printed date is a convention for organising time, not a measurement of the Earth’s position.

The century rule that makes 2000 different

A year divisible by four is normally a leap year. A century year is an exception unless it is also divisible by 400. That is why February 2000 has 29 days, while February 1900 and 2100 have 28. There are 97 leap years in a 400-year Gregorian cycle, giving a calculated average of 365.2425 days per year.

Changing the selected year therefore changes more than the heading. It changes February’s length, weekday positions, and the rows needed in each month. Our preview, printout and image use the same date model so these differences stay consistent.

Why can January belong to last year’s week?

ISO week 1 is the week containing the year’s first Thursday, equivalently 4 January. Weeks start on Monday. Consequently, 1 January 2027 belongs to ISO week 53 of 2026, while Monday 4 January starts week 1 of 2027. The week-year and calendar year can legitimately differ.

A Sunday-first page cannot turn ISO into a Sunday-first numbering system. We label each row by its Monday and explain that convention. For schedules exchanged between teams, include the year as well as the week number near New Year to avoid assigning work to the wrong week.

Paper planning and digital dates solve different problems

A yearly sheet helps you notice clusters of commitments; a monthly sheet helps you put a particular action on a particular date. Writing a deadline in a box does not automatically remind you, and adding many notes does not make the year grid larger: detailed notes follow the calendar as a separate dated list.

An iCalendar export carries those selected events into a compatible app as all-day dates. It does not represent a meeting time, timezone conversion or alarm. This keeps an appointment note from moving a day merely because you import it in another timezone. Check the imported events and set any reminders in your calendar app.
