Face value by month length
Face value uses the triangular number formula: n(n+1)/2 where n = days in the month. Day 1 = $1, Day 2 = $2, … Day N = $N.
These numbers are exact math, not estimates.
| Month length (days) | Formula | Face value (one full calendar) |
|---|---|---|
| 28 | 28 × 29 ÷ 2 | $406 |
| 29 | 29 × 30 ÷ 2 | $435 |
| 30 | 30 × 31 ÷ 2 | $465 |
| 31 | 31 × 32 ÷ 2 | $496 |
Actual campaign totals depend on: (1) how many fundraisers share calendars, (2) fill rate, and (3) whether donors give more than the day amount. Model scenarios on the Calculator.

Common questions
Answers about printable calendars, the math, and when to use MonthFund.
A printable pick-a-date calendar is a paper or PDF grid where each day of the month shows a suggested gift amount equal to the day number (Day 15 = $15). People claim days by writing their name on the grid and giving that amount. A fully claimed 31-day calendar has a face value of $496. A 30-day month is $465.
Face value follows the triangular number formula: n(n+1)/2. A 31-day calendar = $496. A 30-day month = $465. A 29-day month = $435. A 28-day month = $406. This is exact math for one full calendar at face value. Actual totals depend on fill rate and whether donors give more than the day amount.
