How the Printable Tally Sheet Generator Works
The Printable Tally Sheet Generator builds a paper counting sheet with your categories, time slots and tally boxes, ready to print on A4 or US Letter paper.
- Add categories: Enter row labels, such as Cars, Vans, Trucks and Bikes.
- Add time slots: Choose columns, such as 15-minute blocks from 07:00 to 09:00.
- Pick the paper size: Select A4 (210 × 297 mm) or US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), portrait or landscape.
- Print or save: Print the sheet or save it as a PDF.
Printable Tally Sheet Generator Formula
The Printable Tally Sheet Generator cell width equals the usable page width divided by the number of columns.
- Page width
- Paper width
- Margin
- Side margin
- Label width
- Width of the category column
- Columns
- Number of time slots
Example: A4 landscape is 297 mm wide. With 10 mm margins, a 50 mm label column and 8 time slots, cell width = (297 − 20 − 50) ÷ 8 = 28.4 mm (1.12 in).
