What was the date 10 years ago?

Solution

Friday May 09, 2014

0

10 years in the past was 09 May 2014, a Friday. Subtracting 10 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 9 days from the end of May, so being in the middle of of the month, you'll need to consider monthly changes as well. Weekly and daily changes most likely won't impact 10 years ago.

How we calculated 10 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 10 years ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 09 May, then set the calculation - 10 years, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 10 years in May will bring us back to April or further.
  3. Counted backwards years from current day: date - 09 May, factoring in the 9 days left in May to calculate Friday May 09, 2014
  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 May 09

  • Current date: 09 May
  • Day of the week: Friday
  • New Date: Friday May 09, 2014
  • New Date Day of the week: Friday
  • Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.
  • The solution crosses into a different year.
  • Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation.

Ways to calculate 10 years ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 10 years is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 9 days in May + 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 May's calendar: Begin by identifying 09 May on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, and the total days in April (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 10 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()-10 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -10, cell:cell) for working years.

Working years in 10 calendar years

10 years is Friday May 09, 2014 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 10 years and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday May 09, 2014 date.
