A split year calendar cuts the year in the middle rather than at the end. These run July through June, so they show the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021 on one sheet, with the change of calendar year falling in the middle instead of at the edge. That is the whole point of the format: if the twelve months you care about straddle New Year, a January-to-December calendar splits them across two sheets and a split year calendar does not.
The two calendar years are color-coded throughout: the 2020 months carry a green heading and the 2021 months a blue one. On a calendar built around a mid-year boundary that is not decoration - it is the fastest way to see which side of New Year a date falls on, and it makes the twelve months read as one span rather than two halves stuck together.
The days are left blank, because the dates that matter are yours. What is already on them is the part that does not vary: every date, every weekday and every US federal holiday for 2020-2021, shown on the day it is actually observed, so all you have to add is what is specific to your year.
How much you need to fit in each day decides which layout to take. One page puts the whole split year in front of you at once, two pages give you six months per sheet, and four pages devote a quarter to each sheet with the largest day boxes of the set. One and two page versions come in both landscape and portrait; the four page quarterly version is landscape, and there are linear and rolling layouts besides the classic grid. Saturdays are shaded pale yellow, Sundays pale orange and federal holidays are printed in red on pale pink, so working days stand out from the rest. Browse the templates below and choose the layout that fits how you want to map out 2020/21.
Free to download, editable, no sign-up
Every .docx file here is free to download and free to use, with no registration, no email address and no trial that runs out. Type your dates straight into the 2020/21 split year calendar, drop the finished sheet into the reports, handbooks and newsletters you already write, and save it as a PDF when you want to send it out unchanged.How to use this split year calendar in Word and Google Docs
Each calendar is a .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice Writer, so you can type notes straight into the days and write as much as a date actually needs rather than fitting it into a box. Upload it to Google Drive and it opens as a split year calendar in Google Docs, ready to share with colleagues for comments or edits. Add your own logo and colors alongside the existing design, print it on US Letter paper, or drop the finished calendar into a report, handbook or newsletter you are already writing. If you would rather block out whole runs of days than write into each one, the Excel and Google Sheets edition lets you shade a quarter or a closed period in a single action, and the print-ready PDF version is the one to take when nothing needs typing at all.Who uses a July to June calendar
- State and local government, and nonprofits
July 1 to June 30 is a common fiscal year in the US: it is the budget year for most US states, for a large share of counties, cities and school districts, and for a great many nonprofits. On a July to June calendar, budget cycles, grant periods, board meetings, audit dates and reporting deadlines all sit on one sheet instead of being cut in half by January. - Clubs, societies and sports leagues
Membership organizations, clubs and sports leagues whose season runs across the winter fit a split year better than a calendar year: games, training blocks, membership renewals, subscription years, committee terms and the annual meeting. - Businesses on a mid-year financial year
Plenty of US businesses run July to June rather than January to December, whether to match a customer's fiscal year, a seasonal trading cycle or an industry convention. Quarter ends, forecasting rounds, performance reviews, contract renewals and inventory counts all land where you can see them. - Anyone planning across New Year
A summer-to-summer view suits long projects, construction and renovation schedules, application and admissions cycles, rotations and temporary assignments, sabbaticals and extended travel, where a January-to-December sheet would split the work across two calendars. - Home and family
Free to print for the fridge or a home office, with vacations, school calendar dates, renewals and appointments visible across the whole span rather than stopping at December 31.
What to add to your 2020/21 split year calendar
Once the sheet is in front of you, these are the entries that usually go on first:- The fixed points of the year
The start and end of your own year, quarter boundaries, and the closures and shutdown periods around them. - Money and reporting
Budget submission and approval dates, grant application and reporting deadlines, audit windows, invoicing and payroll runs, and year-end close. - People
Vacation and leave, performance reviews, contract and membership renewals, recruitment rounds and training dates. - Deadlines and milestones
Project phases, delivery dates, application and admissions deadlines, launches and go-live dates. - Everything else the year runs on
Board and committee meetings, the annual meeting, the season schedule and events, conferences and the days the office is closed.

half-year split calendar, landscape, 2 pages
The half-year calendar with room to spareThe same July-to-June span split across two landscape sheets, six months to each: July to December on the first, January to June on the second. Halving the year doubles the size of every day box, which is what you want when a single day has to hold more than a word or two. Pinned up together they still give you the whole span on the wall, and the split falls neatly on the turn of the calendar year.

linear split year timeline, landscape, 1 page
The linear split year timelineThe days run left to right in one continuous line with the month names down the left side, so the year reads as a timeline rather than a grid. That makes duration visible in a way a month grid never manages: the length of a project phase, the gap between a submission and a decision, the run of weeks to a deadline. A favorite for project and budget planning across the turn of the year.
- calendar for second half 2020 and first half 2021 on one page (running from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021)
- linear calendar (days arranged horizontally), month names down the left side

- 1 page, landscape orientation (horizontal)
- all US federal holidays for 2020/21 marked in red on a pale pink background, on the date they are observed and on the actual date
- holidays shaded without a name, because a cell one day wide has no room for one
- reads as a timeline, so the length of a phase, project or quarter is easy to measure
- works as a split year project timeline tracker
- a full-width color band above each half of the sheet, marking the 2020 months and the 2021 months

year at a glance, landscape, 1 page
The year-at-a-glance split calendarTwelve month blocks across a single landscape page, July through June, in the familiar layout everyone can read without being shown how. This is a reference calendar rather than a planning one: you use it to check which week a date falls in, or how many weeks are left before a deadline, not to write the whole year into. A federal holidays table runs across the foot of the sheet, so every holiday of the span is named and dated in one place. Small enough to hand out or file inside the cover of a folder.
- calendar for second half 2020 and first half 2021 on one page (running from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021)
- classic 12-month planner design

two half-year blocks, portrait, 1 page
The portrait split year calendar in two blocksThe whole July-to-June span on one portrait page, arranged as two blocks of six months: July to December above, January to June below. Portrait fits where landscape will not, and splitting the year into two blocks keeps the months wide enough to read comfortably while still fitting the full span onto a single sheet. The two blocks divide at the turn of the calendar year.

all twelve months, portrait, 1 page
The full split year on one portrait pageAll twelve months run across the sheet as columns under a colored band for each calendar year, with the day numbers 1 to 31 down both the left and the right edge. Reading across a row shows you what weekday the same date falls on in every month of the span, which is what you want when you are lining up a monthly reporting date or a recurring payment run. It is the densest layout here, so it fits a folder, a door or a corner of a bulletin board without taking over the space around it.

year at a glance, portrait, 1 page
The portrait year-at-a-glance calendarThe traditional twelve-month grid in portrait, July through June, three blocks across and four down. That shape puts exactly one calendar quarter on every row, so the change of calendar year falls cleanly between the second and third rows rather than in the middle of one. Familiar enough that anyone can read it without explanation, and compact enough to go out as a handout or to sit at the front of a folder. Like its landscape counterpart it carries a federal holidays table at the bottom of the sheet, naming and dating every holiday of the span. Take this one when the calendar is for checking dates rather than recording them.

rolling layout with weekdays in columns, portrait, 1 page
The rolling split year calendar with weekdays in columnsA continuous portrait layout in which each day of the week has its own column and the weeks run down the page. Anything on a weekly schedule lines up vertically: the Monday meeting, the Wednesday delivery, the Friday report. A named column down the right-hand side lists the federal holidays row by row and leaves room for your own notes beside them, which makes this the one layout that carries a written record as well as a grid.
