Free printable calendars for 2025 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 style, 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 usually earlier than this, how time flies! I like to keep these calendars fairly minimal so you can decorate them and create your own custom calendar if you’re into color or if you like simplicity, they’re ready as is to add your own events!
Every year since 2013, I’ve created these simple 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 the month names so the style will be slightly different each and every 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 printable blank 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!
How to download the free printable calendars:
Just like last year, these calendars will be available for free to my e-mail subscribers or if you’d rather not subscribe and just buy the files, you can do that in my shop… so get your planning on now!
All new subscribers will automatically be sent access to these 12-month calendars- no matter the form you sign up with.
To download them, all you need to do is enter your email below and have it sent to your inbox. When you click the confirm button on the email you receive, it’ll take you to a thank you page with all 5 of the free calendar templates for you to choose from (and you can choose them all!).
Since this is a black and white pdf calendar, it’s really as easy as hitting that print button. PDF documents are so easy to print off and don’t need any fancy printer settings like photos would. You can print this set of first-day-of-school signs for your current year with your home printer or send it to a local print shop.
While you can print it on any paper… for best results, I love to print these on heavy cardstock so they aren’t as easy for little hands to bend.
These free printable simple calendars are designed with a white background and black letters to keep the printing affordable without the additional cost of color printer ink. While both of the list calendars, the year at a glance calendars and the blank monthly calendar template are designed to be print on us letter paper size (8x5x11), if you choose to print the large calendars, they’re designed to be printed on 11×17 size paper so just make sure to select that at print preview.

How to use free printable calendars:
OK on to the fun part- how to use these babies!
A couple of years ago I put together a video that shares how I use these printable calendars, because I always get asked for more details on that. This goes over quite a few ways including the using the free blank calendar as a budget calendar option.
The dated list calendar is super helpful as a bills calendar if you have a hard time figuring out cashflow and which paychecks you need to save money from to pay big bills etc. 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.
Since there’s a variety of calendar template designs here, you really can use the different templates for whatever you’re needing to plan, schedule or track- such a wide range of uses. The variety of formats makes for great academic calendars, content calendars remembering birthdays or important dates, travel planners, or general year planners.
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.
Thankkkk you.
Isn’t that freaking amazing? I always love seeing these calendars in action but this is the best email I think I’ve ever received from a reader.
If you want to jump on board… again, get all the details on how I do that HERE!
You can also get the DIY instructions to build a stand for the perpetual or list calendars right here (which makes the perfect Christmas gift or teacher gift at the start of the school year!).
SO once you’ve got your hands on your 2025 calendars, you know I’d love to see them in action! You can tag me @colleenpastoor on social or email me, colleen @ lemonthistle.com.
