What was the date 6 days ago?

Solution

Monday December 30, 2024

6 days ago from today is 30 Dec 2024, a Monday. Calculating a short time span like 6 days in the past is typically straightforward. For periods under a week, it's a matter of simple backward counting, often doable with just the days of the week. Since today is Sunday, the calculation could get a bit more complicated if you want to account for business days becuase it's the weekend. – I generally backtrack using the days of the week for quick reference. Additionally, we’ll need to consider that with 5 days until the end of January, being in the early part of of the month means that 6 days ago will bring us back to or further.

How we calculated 6 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 6 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 05 Jan, then set the calculation - 6 days, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 6 days in January will bring us back to or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 05 Jan, factoring in the 5 days left in January to calculate Monday December 30, 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 December 30

  • Current date: 05 Jan
  • Day of the week: Monday
  • New Date: Monday December 30, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Monday
  • December marks the end of the year, so account for all the out of office notifications when counting backwards.
  • 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 6 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 6 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 5 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 05 Jan on a calendar, note that it’s Monday, 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 6 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()-6 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -6, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 6 calendar days

6 days is Monday December 30, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 6 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Monday December 30, 2024 date.
