Monthly calendar: free printable template for any month

This month has its own page with holidays, workdays and ideas.
The short answer
This free monthly calendar opens on the current month with US federal holidays written in the day boxes. Pick any month from 2000 to 2100, choose one of five designs, a Sunday or Monday start and Letter or A4, then print it on one page or save it as a phone wallpaper. Blank template prints an undated grid.
How do you use a monthly calendar to build a habit?
A month on one page is long enough to see a pattern and short enough to restart without guilt. Writing progress down where you can see it helps: across 138 studies, monitoring progress improved goal attainment, more so when it was physically recorded.
- Choose one habit and make it small. A 10-minute walk, 5 pages, 2 minutes of tidying. The guide to building a habit shows how to size it.
- Turn on the habit strip and type the habit, so it prints under the month with one box per day.
- Write fixed dates first: holidays are already in the boxes; add birthdays, bills, trips and deadlines.
- Hang it where the habit happens and tick the box right after you do it. A missed day is just an empty box; see how to restart after missing days.
- Review on the last day. Count the ticks, then keep, shrink or swap the habit for next month.

Frequently asked questions
How do I print a monthly calendar?
Pick the month and year, a design, the paper size and orientation, then press Print this month. The page prints only the calendar, on one sheet. In the print dialog keep scale at 100% and turn off headers and footers. Choose Save as PDF to keep a copy.
Is there a blank monthly calendar template?
Yes. Turn on Blank template and the calendar prints with no month name and no dates: six empty weeks you can date by hand, so one printout works for any month.
Should a monthly calendar start on Sunday or Monday?
In the United States most wall calendars start on Sunday. Monday first keeps the weekend together at the end of the row and matches ISO 8601 weeks, which many planners and work schedules use. Both are one tap apart here.
How do I use a monthly calendar as a habit tracker?
Turn on the habit strip, type the habit, print the month and tick one box each day you do it. Keep it where the habit happens and count the ticks on the last day of the month.
Which holidays are on the calendar?
The US federal holidays, with the observed day off when a holiday falls on a weekend, plus common dates such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter, Halloween and the daylight saving time changes. You can hide either group.
Can I get the monthly calendar on my phone?
Yes. Choose Phone wallpaper and press Save as image. On a phone you can save the PNG to your photos and set it as a wallpaper; on a computer it downloads.
