It's never too late or early to make a plan. Once you start planning, you'll need a calendar. While you can use an online calendar, we understand there are benefits in working with pen and paper, not least that it can be more pleasurable.

Whether you want to organize your life, keep track of events, create a passion planner, plan your vacation, or simply manage your time, here are free printable calendar templates that will help you maintain an overview of your most valuable personal resource: time.

Pro tip: If you do decide to print a calendar, please consider using recycled paper and reuse the paper when you no longer need the calendar.

Timeless Calendar Templates

Microsoft Office

Templates for the entire Office suite can be found in the Calendar category on the Microsoft Office page. These will be downloaded to your computer and require Microsoft Office or an alternative office suite to be opened.

Note that you can combine categories to narrow your search. While most calendars will be more current than the thumbnail suggests, you can search for the current year to be sure.

Microsoft Office Online [No Longer Available]

Microsoft's free suite of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Online has a great selection of templates for any occasion. In the Calendars category, you'll find various templates for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. Don't be misled by the outdated thumbnails; most calendars are actually up to date or dynamically update when you change the year.

Office Online calendars are easily customized and print friendly. The templates will save to OneDrive and open with Office Online. You can also save them to your desktop, to be edited with a desktop Office program.
