0

28 days ago from today was 27 Feb 2025, a Thursday. When calculating a period over two weeks in the past, it's important to account for the day of the week. Since today is Thursday, we'll have to adjust for the weekend, if you care about the number of work days. This takes our subtraction across multiple weeks, and with 27 days until the end of March counting backwards from today in the end of of the month means that subtracting 28 days ago will bring us back to February or further.

How we calculated 28 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 28 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 27 Mar, then set the calculation - 28 days, and factored in the year 2025
Noted your current time of year: 28 days in March will bring us back to February or further.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 27 Mar, factoring in the 27 days left in March to calculate Thursday February 27, 2025
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for February 27

Current date: 27 Mar
Day of the week: Thursday
New Date: Thursday February 27, 2025
New Date Day of the week: Thursday
Remember February has 28 or 29 days depending on Leap Year! This may not impact time in the past, but it will impact future dates.
This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.

Ways to calculate 28 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 28 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 27 days in March + 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 March's calendar: Begin by identifying 27 Mar on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, and the total days in February (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 28 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()-28 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -28, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 28 calendar days

28 days is Thursday February 27, 2025 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 28 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 February 27, 2025 date.
