Chore chart generator

List the people and the chores, choose five or seven days and which day the week starts on, and download a PDF with one chart per person for A4 or Letter. Tick the boxes by hand through the week. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Type the people and the chores, one per line.
  2. Choose five or seven days and the first day of the week.
  3. Pick the paper and orientation (landscape usually fits best).
  4. Download the PDF or print the preview of the first page.

How it works

Each person is one page. The first column holds the chores (long names wrap to two lines) and each following column is a day. The header row is shaded and every cell has borders so it can be ticked or initialled.

Example

Two people and five chores for seven days give a 2-page PDF; each page has a 6-row table (header plus five chores) and 8 columns (chore plus seven days).

Tips

  • Give small children pictures or stickers instead of ticks; the empty cells are large enough.
  • Print a fresh copy each week.

Frequently asked questions

How do the people work?

Each person gets their own page with the same list of chores, their name at the top and a blank "Week of" line. If you leave the people list empty, you get one page with a blank name line.

How many chores fit?

Up to 30 are accepted, but rows must stay at least 14 points tall, so on landscape A4 about 12 or 13 chores fit and the tool reports it when there is no room. Portrait fits more.

Can I change the language of the headings?

The headings and day names come from this page's language. Only Latin text is supported because the PDF uses the standard Helvetica font.

Can I tick the boxes on screen?

No. The chart is meant to be printed; the cells are left empty to tick or write in.
