What was the date 1 year ago?

Solution

Tuesday November 21, 2023

0

1 year in the past was 21 Nov 2023, a Tuesday. 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 21 days from the end of November, 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:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 21 Nov, then set the calculation - 1 year, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 1 year in November will keep us in November and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards year from current day: date - 21 Nov, factoring in the 21 days left in November to calculate Tuesday November 21, 2023
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for November 21

Current date: 21 Nov
Day of the week: Tuesday
New Date: Tuesday November 21, 2023
New Date Day of the week: Tuesday
In Novemeber, account for the end of the year holidays when counting backwards.
The solution crosses into a different year.

Ways to calculate 1 year ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 1 year is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 21 days in November + 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!).
Use November's calendar: Begin by identifying 21 Nov on a calendar, note that it’s Tuesday, and the total days in October (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.
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 Tuesday November 21, 2023 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 Tuesday November 21, 2023 date.
