May 2027 Printable Calendar
May 2027 opens on Saturday and has 31 days, with Monday 31 May closing the month. Because it begins so late in the week, the dated grid needs six rows with either Sunday or Monday start. This printable May calendar makes that extra row explicit instead of squeezing the last dates into a corner. Choose a layout, then print or save your PDF or JPEG.

Optional week numbers and holiday marks
Week numbers and holiday marks are optional and off by default. Choose ISO or US in WEEK NOS to add a narrow week column, and enable federal marks when you want short statutory and observed labels. Your PDF, JPEG and browser print view use the selected options.
May 2027 in the year
The opening date and the closing date sit at opposite edges of May's weekly structure. Saturday 1 May and Sunday 2 May form the first weekend; the final weekend is 29–30 May, followed by Monday 31 May. There are five Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. Each other weekday occurs four times, which is helpful to check when copying a weekly appointment through the month.
A Sunday-first calendar puts 30 May at the start of the sixth row, followed by 31 May. A Monday-first calendar places only Monday 31 May in the final row. The dates have not changed: the column convention determines where a new row starts. June follows on Tuesday. If you keep both sheets side by side, the transition is easy to follow without treating May's last Monday as part of June.
How to print this may calendar
May's six rows make a preview especially worthwhile. Large Write-In provides ruled cells, while Notes Column gives undated items their own space. If you do not need a separate task list, leave the optional notes row off and use the grid alone. Classic is a neutral starting point; Weekend Color highlights the two weekend columns and Ink Saver removes decorative fills.
Set A4 or Letter before downloading so the document matches your paper. PDF is convenient for retaining a ready-to-print master; JPEG is a single image for use in another document. Browser printing hides site controls and editorial sections. Check that all six rows are present and that your printer has not applied a crop or an unexpected scaling setting before printing several copies.
Planning with the May layout
Reserve the sixth row for its actual dates. It is tempting to use the space as a general note area, but May's closing Monday still belongs there. Keep loose reminders in the side panel or optional notes row instead. That distinction is particularly useful when the final weekend leads into a confirmed Monday commitment.
If several people use the same sheet, write short entries and maintain a small key rather than filling the whole cell. A paper calendar records what you add; it does not synchronize with another device or send reminders. When a plan changes, revise the displayed copy and tell the people relying on it. The federal reference below is a separate planning aid, not a statement about every employer or service.
Official US federal holidays in May 2027
Memorial Day falls on Monday 31 May, the final day of the month. Its statutory and standard observed dates match. The reference is kept below the grid so the printable cells remain available for your own entries.
| Holiday | Statutory date | Weekday | Observed date | Observed weekday |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Memorial Day | Monday | Monday |
Dates follow 5 U.S.C. 6103. Weekend federal holidays use the OPM observed-day rule (Saturday → Friday, Sunday → Monday) for most Monday–Friday federal schedules. Observed dates are labeled separately from the statutory date.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add week numbers and federal holiday marks?
Yes. Choose ISO or US week numbers and enable federal marks in the controls. Both are off by default, and changing one option preserves your other selections. The preview, PDF and JPEG use the same choices.
Why does May 2027 need a sixth row?
May begins on Saturday and lasts thirty-one days. Those dates cannot fit into five complete seven-column rows with either supported week start, so the final dates receive a clear row of their own.
When is Memorial Day in May 2027?
Memorial Day is Monday 31 May. It is defined as the last Monday in May, so its statutory date and standard observed date are the same in 2027.
Does Weekend Color label every weekend as a holiday?
No. The tint only identifies Saturday and Sunday columns. It does not make a legal or employment claim about those dates, and no holiday names are printed in the default calendar grid.
Can I save a blank copy before adding notes?
Yes. Keep the PDF or JPEG as a clean master. Handwritten notes stay on your printed sheet.
