What was the date 6 years ago?

Solution

Thursday January 03, 2019

0

6 years in the past was 03 Jan 2019, a Thursday. Subtracting 6 years in the past is usually simple. Anything under a decade can usually be counted on one hand. The biggest challenge will be skipping decades behind or even centuries. Additionally, we’re 3 days from the end of January, so being in the early part of of the month, you'll need to consider monthly changes as well. Weekly and daily changes most likely won't impact 6 years ago.

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

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 03 Jan, then set the calculation - 6 years, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 6 years in January will bring us back to or further.
  3. Counted backwards years from current day: date - 03 Jan, factoring in the 3 days left in January to calculate Thursday January 03, 2019
  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 January 03

  • Current date: 03 Jan
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday January 03, 2019
  • New Date Day of the week: Thursday
  • Counting back form January will put you close, if not passed, the previous year.
  • The solution crosses into a different year.

Ways to calculate 6 years ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 6 years is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 3 days in January + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your years 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 03 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 6 times years by years, subtracting years from until your remainder of years is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex years 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 years.

Working years in 6 calendar years

6 years is Thursday January 03, 2019 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 6 years and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday January 03, 2019 date.
