May 2026 calendar
May 2026 begins on a Friday. 31 days later it ends on a Sunday. It's the 5th month of 2026, sitting in Q2, and it covers days 121 to 151 if you count from January 1, leaving 214 days after it. If you work in ISO week numbers, that's weeks 18 to 22. You get 21 weekdays against 10 weekend days, so 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, plus five Fridays.
The United States has one public holiday this month: Memorial Day on Monday May 25. Schools and most offices shut on those days, so check them before you book travel or promise a delivery date. A few other dates get marked without anyone getting the day off: Cinco de Mayo on the 5th and Mother's Day on the 10th. May usually means Memorial Day weekend, graduations and the unofficial start of summer, and in most households that shows up in the diary as graduations, long weekends and summer holiday booking. All of it is already on the grid above, so you don't have to write any of it in yourself.
You can write straight onto the grid above. Click a day and type; nothing needs saving. Appointments, birthdays, shifts, bill dates, school runs, all the things that normally end up pencilled on the fridge copy. Not signed in? The notes never leave your own machine. Signed in? They're waiting on your phone too. The small dot in the corner of each day sets a highlight colour, handy for marking who's on duty or which deadline actually matters. When it looks right, press Print. You get the calendar and your notes and nothing else: no menus, no buttons, no adverts. Download PDF does the same as a file you can keep or send on.
The week runs Sunday to Saturday, the usual American layout. If that's not what you want, Options covers the week start, ISO week numbers, holiday visibility and row height. Switch country in the top menu and the holidays switch with it, so this same May 2026 layout gives you US federal holidays, UK bank holidays, German Feiertage or French jours fériés without starting again. Prefer a file? Take the month as a PDF in Letter, Legal, Tabloid, A4 or A3, or the whole year as an Excel workbook with a sheet per month.
