Sheet no. 3 · five rows or six
March 2026 Calendar
March 2026 wants five rows on one grid and six on the other. Both are drawn here, and either can be taken away as a PDF, PNG, SVG, XLSX, DOCX or ICS file.

Two grids, two answers
The two grids disagree about March 2026. Begin the week on Sunday and the month settles into five rows. Begin it on Monday and the same thirty-one days need six, because the 1st is a Sunday and a Monday-start row puts Sunday last, so the month opens in the final cell of the top row and pushes everything along.
Six rows on one sheet of paper means shallower boxes than five rows would give. Between the two versions there is nothing to choose on accuracy — the dates are the dates — but there is something to choose on depth, and for a wall sheet the Sunday-start version is the roomier one.
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday each fall five times. The month closes the first quarter, with its first day in ISO week 9, the week February ends on, and its last in ISO week 14.
Sunday or Monday
The start day is a setting above the sheet, not a different calendar. If you are printing March next to February, or next to any other month in the run, hold the same start day for both — two sheets built on different start days will not line up row for row on the wall.
Printing it
Print at 100%, not fit-to-page. The PDF carries a real page box: A4 at 210 × 297 mm, Letter at 8.5 × 11 inches, so the sheet arrives at the size it says it is. If your printer leaves a white band at the edge, that is the printer’s unprintable margin rather than anything in the file.
