January 2028 calendar

A single-month calendar for January 2028, drawn to the true measurements of US Letter or A4 so the printed sheet matches the drawing, with New Year's Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day marked in their cells. The month opens on a Saturday and runs 31 days, so it needs six week rows whichever day you start the week on.

Holidays in January 2028

January 2028 has two federal holidays. New Year's Day falls on a Saturday this year, and the federal shift rule moves the day off back to Friday, December 31, a date in the previous month, so no observed mark appears on this sheet. The list below is computed from the federal rules, and each entry shows the weekday it falls on in 2028.

How this January 2028 page works

January 1, 2028 falls on a Saturday, so in the default Sunday-start layout it sits alone in the last cell of the first row. The first Monday is the 3rd. If you want the columns to match another planner, set the week start before printing; the Week rows readout above the sheet shows 6 rows with either choice.

The sheet is an SVG drawn in real-world units, so every line on it has a position in millimeters. When you print, the page gives your dialog the exact dimensions of the paper you picked, Letter or A4, and the grid prints at that size. No pre-built PDF sits behind the page: your browser renders the drawing, and if you choose Save as PDF, the browser writes the file. The dates are computed: the script works out that January 2028 begins on a Saturday and holds 31 days, then fills the rows cell by cell. Both holiday marks come from their federal definitions, a fixed date for New Year's Day and the third Monday of the month for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The sheet has no week numbers and no moon phases, and it draws no non-federal observances into the cells; when a month has observances, they appear in the list below the sheet. January 2028 has none, so its list holds just the two federal days. Two options change the drawing itself. The coloring layout moves the grid into the lower part of the page and leaves a blank panel above it, so a child can draw the month while the dates stay usable. A Monday week start puts the 1st and 2nd in the last two cells of the first row. Whichever you choose, keep the print scale at 100% ("Actual size"); a fit-to-page option shrinks the grid and its millimeters with it.

Frequently asked questions

What day of the week does January 2028 start on?
On a Saturday. On the default Sunday-start sheet the first week row carries only one dated cell, and the first full row begins on Sunday, January 2; with a Monday start, the first full week begins on Monday, January 3. The month closes on Monday, January 31. Thirty-one days from a Saturday start need six week rows, and the count stays at six whether you begin the week on Sunday or on Monday.
What federal holidays are in January 2028?
Two: New Year's Day on Saturday, January 1, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 17. The federal rule defines Martin Luther King Jr. Day as the third Monday of January, so its date changes from year to year. Both are marked in their grid cells, and the remaining 29 days of the month print unmarked, since nothing else in the federal set falls in January.
Why is there no observed date marked for New Year's Day 2028?
Because the observed date is not in this month. The federal rule moves a Saturday holiday to the Friday before, and the Friday before Saturday, January 1, 2028 is Friday, December 31, 2027. The December 2027 sheet carries that mark, labeled New Year's (obs.) in the cell for the 31st. So in 2028 the holiday is in January and the federal day off is in December of the year before.
Can I use this January 2028 calendar to track a new habit?
Yes. Each of the 31 cells takes a short note or a single tick, and one month is an easier span to commit a new routine to than a year: when the sheet runs out, you print February 2028, and the streak either carries on or starts over. The Saturday start gives you a weekend, the 1st and 2nd, to begin before the first full week.
Will the January 2028 calendar print correctly on A4 as well as US Letter?
Yes. Pick the paper size and the grid is drawn again for that sheet's exact dimensions, 215.9 × 279.4 mm for Letter or 210 × 297 mm for A4. Your print dialog receives the true page measurements along with the sheet, so the cells print at their drawn size. Before you print, check the scale setting: it needs to read "Actual size", with any shrink-to-fit mode turned off.
