The Calendar Maker on CalendarPrint.co lets you build a custom printable calendar in minutes. You can choose from a range of calendar types, customise every aspect of the layout, add holidays and events, and then download your calendar as a PDF or print it directly.
Choosing a calendar type
The first step is choosing the type of calendar that fits your needs.
- Monthly — The most popular option. Shows one month in a grid format. Good for wall planners, desk calendars, and general planning.
- Yearly — Shows all 12 months in a compact grid. Good for overview planning and year-at-a-glance displays.
- Weekly Planner — Shows one week in detail. Good for daily task planning, time-blocking, and scheduling.
- Blank — An empty calendar grid. Fill in dates and events by hand. Good for classroom use, chore charts, and flexible planning.
- School Calendar — A monthly calendar with space for term dates, assignments, and school events.
- Work Schedule — A shift and workday planner for employees and managers.
- Meal Planner — Weekly or monthly meal planning with breakfast, lunch, and dinner sections.
- Fitness Calendar — A workout and goal-tracking calendar for exercise planning.
- Birthday Calendar — A month-by-month birthday and celebration tracker.
- Event Calendar — A custom event planner with deadline and notes fields.
Setting the date range
After choosing a calendar type, set your date range:
- For a monthly calendar, choose the month and year
- For a yearly calendar, choose the year
- For a weekly planner, choose the start date of the week
- For academic or work calendars, you may set a custom date range

Adding holidays
