Solution

Thursday May 16, 2024

231 days ago from today was 16 May 2024, a Thursday. Subtracting 231 days, or about six months or more, introduces a complex layer of our calculation. Since today is Thursday, we'll have to adjust for the weekend, if you care about the number of work days. Currently, in the early part of of January, we must consider the 2 days left out of the 31 to gauge the weekends involved. Understanding the number of weeks remaining in 2025 is crucial to determine whether we're looking back into a previous year. My advice? Start with weekly or monthly calculations before jumping into a 231 day calculation.

How we calculated 231 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 231 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 02 Jan, then set the calculation - 231 days, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 231 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 Thursday May 16, 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 May 16

  • Current date: 02 Jan
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday May 16, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Thursday
  • 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 231 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 231 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 Thursday, 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 231 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()-231 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -231, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 231 calendar days

231 days is Thursday May 16, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 231 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday May 16, 2024 date.
