Printable Goal Thermometer
Free printable goal thermometer at exact scale — a big fundraising or savings progress chart with a numbered scale from your start amount to your goal. Colour in the mercury as you make progress. A4, Letter or any size.
A goal thermometer is the classic way to show progress toward a target — fundraising drives, class or team goals, savings challenges, reading miles, steps, anything countable. Set your goal amount, a start amount, a currency or unit prefix and a marker interval, and the sheet draws a tall thermometer with a bulb and a numbered scale from start to goal.
You can optionally pre-shade the mercury to a current amount, then colour the rest in by hand as you go. It prints big and bold at exact scale on A4, Letter or any size — ideal to pin on a wall or noticeboard.
Printing at exact scale
Every sheet is drawn in real millimetres and prints at exact physical scale. For accurate output, set Scale = 100% (Actual size) and Margins = None in your browser's print dialog. Not sure your printer is honest? Run the printer ruler test first to confirm 50 mm really measures 50 mm.
Frequently asked questions
What can I use a goal thermometer for?
Fundraising totals, savings goals, class or team targets, reading challenges, step counts — anything with a number you’re working up toward a target.
Can I set the amounts and currency?
Yes — set the goal amount, a starting amount, a prefix such as $, £ or €, and how often a scale line is drawn.
Can I show how far along we already are?
Yes — the pre-fill option shades the mercury up to a current amount, and you colour in the rest as you make progress.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every template on printsheet.io is completely free, with no sign-up, no account and no watermark. Generate as many sheets as you like.
How do I get an exact-scale print?
Choose your paper size, then in the print dialog set Scale to 100% or “Actual size” and Margins to None. The sheet is defined in real millimetres, so it prints at true size. Use the calibration ruler page to verify.
Which paper sizes are supported?
A4, A5, A3, A6, US Letter, Legal and Tabloid, in portrait or landscape. Pick the size that matches the paper loaded in your printer.
Can I save it as a PDF instead of printing?
Yes — choose “Save as PDF” as the printer in your browser's print dialog. The PDF keeps the exact millimetre dimensions.
