What was the date 500 months ago?

Solution

Wednesday September 08, 1982

0

500 months before today was 08 Sep 1982, a Wednesday. Subtracting 500 months in the past is usually just counting from May; however, longer calculations will push us from 2024 into 2023 or further. Even if the calculation remains within the year, I usually take note of the 8 days left in the middle of May to prep for an additional calculation before April. But that’s all there is to it - understand the month, if 500 months will change the year, season, or fiscal calendar, and subtract your dates.

How we calculated 500 months 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 500 months ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 08 May, then set the calculation - 500 months, and factored in the year 2024
  2. Noted your current time of year: 500 months in May will bring us back to April or further.
  3. Counted backwards months from current day: date - 08 May, factoring in the 8 days left in May to calculate Wednesday September 08, 1982
  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 08

  • Current date: 08 May
  • Day of the week: Wednesday
  • New Date: Wednesday September 08, 1982
  • New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
  • Counting backward from September puts you back into the summer! September is the official start of fall.
  • 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 500 months ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 500 months 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 months 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 Wednesday, 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 500 times months by months, subtracting months from until your remainder of months is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex months calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-500 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -500, cell:cell) for working months.

Working months in 500 calendar months

500 months is Wednesday September 08, 1982 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 500 months and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday September 08, 1982 date.
