120 days ago from today was 10 Oct 2024, a Thursday. Subtracting a number of days that spans over three months takes us beyond simple day-to-day subtraction into calculating across weeks and months, crucial for understanding fiscal calendars. Considerations include the day of the week, and the length of both February and January, alongside seasonal and calendar transitions. Since today is Friday, well need to account for the weekend if you care about work days. If not, the calculation will remain the same. Given we're in the early part of of February, with 7 days left out of the 28, factoring in shifting weekends of that quarter becomes essential. For such extensive backward calculations, starting with week-by-week or month-by-month subtraction might offer clearer insights.

How we calculated 120 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 120 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 07 Feb, then set the calculation - 120 days, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 120 days in February will bring us back to January or further.
  3. Counted backwards days from current day: date - 07 Feb, factoring in the 7 days left in February to calculate Thursday October 10, 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 October 10

  • Current date: 07 Feb
  • Day of the week: Thursday
  • New Date: Thursday October 10, 2024
  • New Date Day of the week: Thursday
  • October marks the start of Q4 so counting backward will put you back into the 3 fiscal quarter.
  • 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 120 days ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 120 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 7 days in February + 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 February's calendar: Begin by identifying 07 Feb on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, and the total days in January (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 120 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()-120 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -120, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 120 calendar days

120 days is Thursday October 10, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 120 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday October 10, 2024 date.
