Printable 4 Month Calendar

Four months is a third of the year, and it is close to the length of a college semester. This free 4 month calendar shows four months in a neat two by two grid, with US holidays marked and a box for every day. Choose your months, add your dates and print it.

How to Set Up a 4 Month Calendar

Choose where it starts. Pick any month, or use the buttons for January to April, May to August or September to December. The arrows jump four months at a time.
Add the big dates first. Exams, deadlines, trips and the last day of a project. Then fill in the smaller things around them.
Add holidays and extras. Popular days, religious holidays, a notes box or a photo of your own.
Style it. Four styles, eight colors and a title of your choice, such as "Fall Semester".

The Year in Three 4 Month Blocks

Split the year into thirds and every page holds about 17 weeks. Here is how 2027 breaks down, with the US federal holidays in each block.

Months	Days	Length	US federal holidays
January to April	120	17 weeks and 1 day	New Year's Day (Jan 1), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan 18), Presidents' Day (Feb 15)
May to August	123	17 weeks and 4 days	Memorial Day (May 31), Juneteenth (Jun 19, day off Jun 18), Independence Day (Jul 4, day off Jul 5)
September to December	122	17 weeks and 3 days	Labor Day (Sep 6), Columbus Day (Oct 11), Veterans Day (Nov 11), Thanksgiving Day (Nov 25), Christmas Day (Dec 25, day off Dec 24), New Year's Day 2028 (day off Dec 31)

September to December is the busiest block for holidays in 2027, with 6 federal days off. It is worth planning around them early, since federal offices, post offices and most banks close.

Plan a Semester on One Page

A semester at many US colleges is about 15 or 16 weeks long, finals included. That fits inside four months with room to spare, so a 4 month calendar makes a simple semester planner. Your school's academic calendar has the exact dates.

Start with the first month of classes, often August or January.
Add the fixed dates: first day of class, breaks, and the last day of finals.
Add every exam and paper due date. With all of them on one page, the heavy weeks jump out, and you can start those projects early.
Print two copies: one for your desk and one for your binder.

More Ideas for a Four Month Calendar

A 16-week training plan

Training for a race or getting ready for a big event? Count back 16 weeks from the day and mark the start. Four months is about 17 weeks, so the whole plan, from the first session to the big day, fits on one page. Cross off each workout as you finish it.

Summer season

For camp staff, lifeguards, landscapers and anyone with a summer business, May to August is the season that counts. Plan shifts, orders and events with the whole summer in view. Popular days like Mother's Day and Father's Day are one tick away.

Countdown to a big day

A move, a wedding, a new baby or a long trip: when something big is a few months away, put all four months on the wall and mark each step on the way. Ticking them off feels good, and nothing sneaks up on you.

Printing Four Months on One Page

Always two by two. The four months sit in a 2 by 2 grid on any paper. Portrait makes each month taller, landscape makes it wider.
Need taller boxes? Legal paper (8.5 x 14 in) in portrait gives every day more height. A3 or Tabloid makes a good wall planner.
Notes under the months. Tick "Notes box" for a strip of lines at the bottom for goals or reminders.
Check the scale. Print at 100%. If your printer cuts off an edge, choose "Fit to page". See our printing guide for more.
