126 years in the past was 08 May 1898, a Sunday. Subtracting 126 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 8 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 126 years ago.

How we calculated 126 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 126 years ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 08 May, then set the calculation - 126 years, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 126 years in May will bring us back to April or further.
  3. Counted backwards years from current day: date - 08 May, factoring in the 8 days left in May to calculate Sunday May 08, 1898
  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 08

  • Current date: 08 May
  • Day of the week: Sunday
  • New Date: Sunday May 08, 1898
  • New Date Day of the week: Sunday
  • 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 126 years ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 126 years is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 8 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 08 May on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, 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 126 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()-126 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -126, cell:cell) for working years.
