Free template

A free Gantt chart template for Excel

Plan a job as tasks in working days, each starting after another, and see it as bars across the weeks. Weekends and the public holidays you list are skipped.

Download the template

An Excel file, about 16 KB. No sign-up, and no email address needed.

It opens in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. There are no macros.

What is in it

  • Up to forty tasks, each with how many working days it takes.
  • Which task each one starts after, and a gap in working days for a review or a client’s reply.
  • Start and finish dates worked out with WORKDAY.INTL, skipping your weekend and your holidays.
  • Bars filling the weeks each task runs in, for twenty-six weeks from the start.
  • A holidays sheet to fill with your own region’s, started with Karnataka’s as an example.

Thank you. You are on the list, and every email says how to come off it.

That did not work on our side, and nothing was stored. Please try again later.

Or draw it online

The Gantt chart maker on this site schedules the same way for any of its regions, and downloads the chart as Excel, CSV or a calendar.

Questions people ask

Is the Gantt chart template free?

Yes. Download it and use it as you like, with no sign-up and no email address needed.

Does it work in Google Sheets or LibreOffice?

Yes. Every figure is an ordinary formula with no macros, so it opens in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc and works in each.

Why working days rather than dates?

Because that is how a phase is quoted: ten days of work is ten days somebody works, not ten days on the calendar. Type the days and the dates follow, around weekends and holidays.

We set ReliTime up with a walkthrough rather than a sign-up form. We will take you through a working organisation, from a week of timesheets through approvals and work in progress to a GST invoice, answer your questions as we go, and set up yours.
