Saturday December 21, 2024

12 days ago from today was 21 Dec 2024, a Saturday. Since today is Thursday, we'll have to adjust for the weekend, if you care about the number of work days. In subtracting an 12-day span, we count back over a week, which means we need to account for workdays for those of us who prioritize them. Moving backward by more than a week from January suggests we might approach , given we’re currently in the early part of of this month.

How we calculated 12 days 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 12 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 02 Jan, then set the calculation - 12 days, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 12 days in January will bring us back to or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 02 Jan, factoring in the 2 days left in January to calculate Saturday December 21, 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 December 21

  • Current date: 02 Jan
  • Day of the week: Saturday
  • New Date: Saturday December 21, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Saturday
  • December marks the end of the year, so account for all the out of office notifications when counting backwards.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.
  • 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 12 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 12 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 2 days in January + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your days and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use January's calendar: Begin by identifying 02 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, and the total days in (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 12 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-12 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -12, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 12 calendar days

12 days is Saturday December 21, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 12 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Saturday December 21, 2024 date.
