What was the date 1 year ago?

Solution

Friday March 29, 2024

Date Range: 1 year

1 year in the past was 29 Mar 2024, a Friday. Subtracting 1 year in the past is usually simple. Anything under a decade can usually be counted on one hand. The biggest challenge will be skipping decades behind or even centuries. Additionally, we’re 29 days from the end of March, so being in the end of of the month, you'll need to consider monthly changes as well. Weekly and daily changes most likely won't impact 1 year ago.

How we calculated 1 year before today

All of our day calculators are measured and QA'd by our engineer. Read more about the Git process here. But here's how 1 year ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 29 Mar, then set the calculation - 1 year, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 1 year in March will keep us in March and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards year from current day: date - 29 Mar, factoring in the 29 days left in March to calculate Friday March 29, 2024
  4. Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for March 29

  • Current date: 29 Mar
  • Day of the week: Friday
  • New Date: Friday March 29, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Friday
  • March is usually not, but sometimes super tricky. Factor in Leap Years and Easter, which falls on varying dates each year, if you need a date in the past.
  • The solution crosses into a different year.
  • Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation.

Ways to calculate 1 year ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 1 year is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 29 days in March + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your year and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use March's calendar: Begin by identifying 29 Mar on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, and the total days in February (trust me, you’ll need this for smaller calculations) and days until last year (double trust me, you'll need this for larger calculations). From there, count backwards 1 times year by year, subtracting year from until your remainder of year is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex year calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-1 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -1, cell:cell) for working year.

Working year in 1 calendar year

1 year is Friday March 29, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 1 year and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday March 29, 2024 date.
