What was the date 5 months ago?

Solution

Tuesday August 13, 2024

0

5 months before today was 13 Aug 2024, a Tuesday. Subtracting 5 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 13 days left in the middle of January to prep for an additional calculation before . But that’s all there is to it - understand the month, if 5 months will change the year, season, or fiscal calendar, and subtract your dates.

How we calculated 5 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 5 months ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 13 Jan, then set the calculation - 5 months, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 5 months in January will keep us in January and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
  3. Counted backwards months from current day: date - 13 Jan, factoring in the 13 days left in January to calculate Tuesday August 13, 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 August 13

  • Current date: 13 Jan
  • Day of the week: Tuesday
  • New Date: Tuesday August 13, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Tuesday
  • August is the beginning of Q3. Dates in previous months will be part of 1H fiscal years.
  • 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 5 months ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 5 months is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 13 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 13 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Tuesday, 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 5 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()-5 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -5, cell:cell) for working months.

Working months in 5 calendar months

5 months is Tuesday August 13, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 5 months and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Tuesday August 13, 2024 date.
