300 days ago from today was 15 Mar 2024, a Friday. Subtracting 300 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 middle of of January, we must consider the 9 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 300 day calculation.

How we calculated 300 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 300 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 09 Jan, then set the calculation - 300 days, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 300 days in January will bring us back to or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 09 Jan, factoring in the 9 days left in January to calculate Friday March 15, 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 March 15

  • Current date: 09 Jan
  • Day of the week: Friday
  • New Date: Friday March 15, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Friday
  • March is usually not, but sometimes super tricky. Factor in Leap Years and Easter, which falls on varying dates each year, if you need a date in the past.
  • 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 300 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 300 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 9 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 09 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, 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 300 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()-300 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -300, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 300 calendar days

300 days is Friday March 15, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 300 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday March 15, 2024 date.
