Overview
Add each post as a row with its date, platform, pillar and status, and the calendar view builds your month for you. Move posts from idea to posted, and keep a running ideas bank so a blank week never sneaks up on you.
Once posts go live, enter the views, likes, comments, shares and saves to get an engagement rate, and the dashboard shows your best pillars and top posts of the year. Made for small businesses, creators and social media managers.

Questions
How do I make a content calendar in Google Sheets?
List each post with its date, platform and status, then turn those rows into a monthly view. This template does the second part for you: plan posts on the Posts tab and the Calendar tab fills in on its own.
Which platforms does it work for?
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, X, plus your blog and email.
Does it calculate engagement rate?
Yes. Enter views, likes, comments, shares and saves on the Stats tab and the engagement rate is worked out for you.
Can I use it next year?
Yes. Change the year on Settings and keep going in 2027 and beyond.
Do I need Excel?
No. It works in free Google Sheets with a Google account, on a computer, tablet or phone. If you prefer Excel, open the .xlsx file instead. Apple Numbers can open the Excel file too.
How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
