Free printable calendars for 2024 are here! With a modern minimal design and hand lettered details, there are 5 layout options for these free calendars. Choose from a classic grid calendar, an oversized grid calendar with notes space, a list calendar, perpetual list calendar and year at a glance… or snag them all ;)

My favourite post of the year to hit publish on is THIS one. I get so many emails each year asking when they will be ready and each year I’m surprised at how early you all are to plan! I’m earlier than usual on it this year. July?! Heck yes!
Every year since 2013, I’ve created free printable calendars for you to use for… well, whatever you like. Every year I tweak things to make them just a little bit better and I do hand letter them so the style will be slightly different each year although I’ve definitely found my personal lettering style so they haven’t been *too* different the past few years. I’m now up to five different calendar layouts for you to download and enjoy.



The 5 different calendar formats for free download are:
- a classic 8×10 grid calendar with room for goals and notes
- a large 11×17 grid calendar with room for notes (perfect for busy families! This is what we use for our daily calendar)
- a perpetual list calendar (perfect for birthdays and anniversaries- store it with your cards and address book)
- a dated list calendar (I use this for budgeting)
- a year at a glance calendar (I keep this one on my desk!)


I always have so much fun lettering the monthly scripts every year. It’s fun to look back at the previous styles and make them just the tiniest different so you get something totally unique each year- but still sticking with my modern brush lettering style that I just can’t get enough of.
By the way… if that’s something that interests you, you can get started with brush lettering super easily with my free Brush Lettering Quickstart Guide!
A couple of years ago I put together a video that shares how I use these printable calendars (scroll down to see that)! Because I always get asked for more details on that. This goes over quite a few ways including the budget calendar option. It’s super helpful if you have a hard time figuring out cashflow and which paychecks you need to save money from to pay big bills etc.

how to use free printable calendars:
OK on to the fun part- how to use these babies! I use them so many different ways, but this video shows 7 ways we use them in our own house. Yes… I like to use calendars a lot. For everything.
You can also get the DIY instructions to build a stand for the list calendars right here (which makes the perfect Christmas gift!).
And if you need to whip your budget into shape, you can get all the details on how I use the list calendar for easier budgeting right over here. I’ve tried to take a couple close ups of that process this year (above) so you can see- it just helps visualize what bills come off of what paycheck so you can save some of income accordingly to keep cash flow feeling healthy and less stressful.

I wanted to really highlight this section this year because of an email I received earlier this year from a long time subscriber. Let me share an exert with you:
I started using the list calendar many years ago. I use it for bill due dates.
Anyways, my credit score used to be like 400.
Today its over 800.
—— these calendars saved my life.
Living in my dream lake house; blue ribbon schools, because of good credit.
