What was the date 96 months ago?

Solution

Tuesday May 17, 2016

0

96 months before today was 17 May 2016, a Tuesday. Subtracting 96 months in the past is usually just counting from May; however, longer calculations will push us from 2024 into 2023 or further. Even if the calculation remains within the year, I usually take note of the 17 days left in the middle of May to prep for an additional calculation before April. But that’s all there is to it - understand the month, if 96 months will change the year, season, or fiscal calendar, and subtract your dates.

How we calculated 96 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 96 months ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 17 May, then set the calculation - 96 months, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 96 months in May will bring us back to April or further.
Counted backwards months from current day: date - 17 May, factoring in the 17 days left in May to calculate Tuesday May 17, 2016
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 17

Current date: 17 May
Day of the week: Tuesday
New Date: Tuesday May 17, 2016
New Date Day of the week: Tuesday
Counting backward from May could put you back in Q1 or even the previous year.
The solution crosses into a different year.

Ways to calculate 96 months ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 96 months is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 17 days in May + 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!).
Use May's calendar: Begin by identifying 17 May on a calendar, note that it’s Tuesday, 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 96 times months by months, subtracting months from until your remainder of months is 0.
Use excel: For more complex months calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-96 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -96, cell:cell) for working months.

Working months in 96 calendar months

96 months is Tuesday May 17, 2016 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 96 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 May 17, 2016 date.
