What was the date 18 days ago?

Solution

Saturday April 12, 2025

18 days ago from today was 12 Apr 2025, a Saturday. When calculating a period over two weeks in the past, it's important to account for the day of the week. Since today is Wendesday, we'll actually need to start considering the weekend. Two days from now the weekend begins and it could throw off our calculation if we consider work days. This takes our subtraction across multiple weeks, and with 30 days until the end of April counting backwards from today in the end of of the month means that subtracting 18 days ago will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.

How we calculated 18 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 18 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 30 Apr, then set the calculation - 18 days, and factored in the year 2025
Noted your current time of year: 18 days in April will keep us in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 30 Apr, factoring in the 30 days left in April to calculate Saturday April 12, 2025
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Ways to calculate 18 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 18 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 30 days in April + 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!).
Use April's calendar: Begin by identifying 30 Apr on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, and the total days in March (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 18 times days by days, subtracting days from until your remainder of days is 0.
Use excel: For more complex days calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-18 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -18, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 18 calendar days

18 days is Saturday April 12, 2025 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 18 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Saturday April 12, 2025 date.
