496 weeks ago from today was 24 May 2015, a Sunday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2024. It looks like 496 weeks from now will bring us back to pre 2023 and we’ll need to factor this into our subtraction because it will change the calendar and fiscal years. For larger calculations like this, I start by subtracting total days, then counting backwards 3472 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Sunday May 24, 2015.

How we calculated 496 weeks 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 496 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 24 Nov, then set the calculation - 496 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 496 weeks in November will bring us back to October or further.
Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 24 Nov, factoring in the 24 days left in November to calculate Sunday May 24, 2015
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 24

Ways to calculate 496 weeks ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 496 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 24 days in November + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your weeks and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use November's calendar: Begin by identifying 24 Nov on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in October (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 496 times weeks by weeks, subtracting weeks from until your remainder of weeks is 0.
Use excel: For more complex weeks calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-496 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -496, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 496 calendar weeks

496 weeks is Sunday May 24, 2015 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 496 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday May 24, 2015 date.
