Licence

Free for use in your own business. You may print the PDF for your own use. Please do not resell or redistribute the files. If you want to share them, link to this page instead.

Any figures the files help you work out are estimates, not financial, tax or legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no email address needed. Just download the file. If it helps you, you can buy me a coffee, but that is entirely optional and does not unlock anything.

Where do the timings come from?

They are common rules of thumb from seller guidance, not exact science. Your own sales history is the best guide, so change the weeks to match what you see in your shop.

Why are some dates approximate?

Dates such as back to school, graduation and summer holidays vary by area. They are marked as approximate so you can adjust them for your buyers.
