How January 2026 falls

Sheet one opens on a Thursday and closes on a Saturday, thirty-one days later. Its first day sits in ISO week 1 and its last in ISO week 5, so this is the month that carries the year’s opening week numbers down the side of the grid.

Five rows hold it whichever day you start the week on. That is the quiet case, and it is worth knowing before you print: nothing spills into a sixth row, so the boxes stay as deep as the sheet can make them.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday each come round five times; the other four weekdays do not. Twenty-two working days against nine at the weekend.

Printing it

The PDF carries a real page box, so an A4 sheet comes out at 210 × 297 mm and a Letter sheet at 8.5 × 11 inches. Print at 100% rather than fit-to-page. Scaling to fit shrinks the grid by a few millimetres and hands you a margin you did not ask for.

The same sheet is written in other forms if paper is not what you are after:

  • PNG for a fixed-size image, SVG if it has to be scaled or edited as line work
  • XLSX, which opens in Excel with the grid intact
  • DOCX, which opens in Word
  • ICS, the calendar file format

All of it is written in your browser and handed straight to you. There is no account, no email step and no copy left behind.
