Answer

# How many pages should a planner have?

Updated 23 September 2026

It depends on the layout. A monthly planner is about 30 to 40 pages, a weekly planner across 52 weeks lands near 110 to 150 pages with extras, and a page-a-day daily planner runs past 365, so daily planners usually cover a quarter, not a year.

The layout sets the count, and the count sets the print cost, the spine and the [gutter margin](https://www.oncebooks.com/glossary#gutter-margin). The gutter widens at 151 and 301 pages, so a weekly planner that stays under 150 keeps its binding margin at the narrowest and every spread its full width. A daily page-per-day planner crosses both thresholds, which is one reason most daily planners cover a quarter instead of a year.

In [Publisher Studio](https://www.oncebooks.com/planner-maker) you pick the date range and the extras (a year-at-a-glance, goal pages, a habit tracker, notes), and it evens the total and sizes the gutter and spine from the real count.
