16 years in the past was 14 Sep 2008, a Sunday. Subtracting 16 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 14 days from the end of September, 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 16 years ago.

How we calculated 16 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 16 years ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 14 Sep, then set the calculation - 16 years, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 16 years in September will bring us back to August or further.
  3. Counted backwards years from current day: date - 14 Sep, factoring in the 14 days left in September to calculate Sunday September 14, 2008
  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 September 14

  • Current date: 14 Sep
  • Day of the week: Sunday
  • New Date: Sunday September 14, 2008
  • New Date Day of the week: Sunday
  • Counting backward from September puts you back into the summer! September is the official start of fall.
  • The solution crosses into a different year.

Ways to calculate 16 years ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 16 years is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 14 days in September + 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 September's calendar: Begin by identifying 14 Sep on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in August (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 16 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()-16 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -16, cell:cell) for working years.

Working years in 16 calendar years

16 years is Sunday September 14, 2008 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 16 years and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday September 14, 2008 date.
