What was the date 60 days ago?

Solution

Wednesday November 06, 2024

0

60 days ago from today was 06 Nov 2024, a Wednesday. As we approach calculations over month in the past, the 31 days in January play significant roles, alongside the day 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. Counting backwards from today skips several weekends, meaning that subtracting 60 days takes us from the early part of of January to potentially crossing far beyond January or . For those of us focusing on workdays, subtracting 60 days ago necessitates adjustments for the fiscal calendar (don’t worry, I've accounted for it below).

How we calculated 60 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 60 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 05 Jan, then set the calculation - 60 days, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 60 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 Wednesday November 06, 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 November 06

  • Current date: 05 Jan
  • Day of the week: Wednesday
  • New Date: Wednesday November 06, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
  • In Novemeber, account for the end of the year holidays 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 60 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 60 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 Wednesday, 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 60 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()-60 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -60, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 60 calendar days

60 days is Wednesday November 06, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 60 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday November 06, 2024 date.
