What was the date 20 months ago?

Solution

Wednesday May 03, 2023

0

20 months before today was 03 May 2023, a Wednesday. Subtracting 20 months in the past is usually just counting from January; however, longer calculations will push us from 2025 into 2024 or further. Even if the calculation remains within the year, I usually take note of the 3 days left in the early part of January to prep for an additional calculation before . But that’s all there is to it - understand the month, if 20 months will change the year, season, or fiscal calendar, and subtract your dates.

How we calculated 20 months 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 20 months ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 03 Jan, then set the calculation - 20 months, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 20 months in January will bring us back to or further.
  3. Counted backwards months from current day: date - 03 Jan, factoring in the 3 days left in January to calculate Wednesday May 03, 2023
  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 May 03

  • Current date: 03 Jan
  • Day of the week: Wednesday
  • New Date: Wednesday May 03, 2023
  • New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
  • Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.
  • This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.
  • The solution crosses into a different year.

Ways to calculate 20 months ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 20 months is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 3 days in January + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your months 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 03 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Wednesday, 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 20 times months by months, subtracting months from until your remainder of months is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex months calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-20 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -20, cell:cell) for working months.

Working months in 20 calendar months

20 months is Wednesday May 03, 2023 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 20 months and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday May 03, 2023 date.
