What was the date 61 days ago?

Solution

Sunday March 17, 2024

0

61 days ago from today was 17 Mar 2024, a Sunday. Calculating time over multiple months means we must count back weeks and weekends + the 31 May, typically moving from the middle of May into April and potentially further. Since today is Friday, well need to account for the weekend if you care about work days. If not, the calculation will remain the same. The key difference with subtracting two+ months, compared to shorter spans, is the need to consider several weekends from the middle of May to get Sunday March 17, 2024.

How we calculated 61 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 61 days ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 17 May, then set the calculation - 61 days, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 61 days in May will bring us back to April or further.
Counted backwards days from current day: date - 17 May, factoring in the 17 days left in May to calculate Sunday March 17, 2024
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for March 17

Current date: 17 May
Day of the week: Sunday
New Date: Sunday March 17, 2024
New Date Day of the week: Sunday
March is usually not, but sometimes super tricky. Factor in Leap Years and Easter, which falls on varying dates each year, if you need a date in the past.
This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.

Ways to calculate 61 days ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 61 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 17 days in May + 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 May's calendar: Begin by identifying 17 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 61 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()-61 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -61, cell:cell) for working days.

Working days in 61 calendar days

61 days is Sunday March 17, 2024 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 61 days and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday March 17, 2024 date.
