0

125 years in the past was 16 Feb 1900, a Friday. Subtracting 125 years 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 16 days from the end of February, so being in the middle of of the month, you'll need to consider monthly changes as well. Weekly and daily changes most likely won't impact 125 years ago.

How we calculated 125 years 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 125 years ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 16 Feb, then set the calculation - 125 years, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 125 years in February will bring us back to January or further.
  3. Counted backwards years from current day: date - 16 Feb, factoring in the 16 days left in February to calculate Friday February 16, 1900
  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 February 16

  • Current date: 16 Feb
  • Day of the week: Friday
  • New Date: Friday February 16, 1900
  • New Date Day of the week: Friday
  • Remember February has 28 or 29 days depending on Leap Year! This may not impact time in the past, but it will impact future dates.
  • 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 125 years ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 125 years is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 16 days in February + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your years and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use February's calendar: Begin by identifying 16 Feb on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, and the total days in January (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 125 times years by years, subtracting years from until your remainder of years is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex years calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-125 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -125, cell:cell) for working years.

Working years in 125 calendar years

125 years is Friday February 16, 1900 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 125 years and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday February 16, 1900 date.
