How date addition and subtraction work

The calculator applies each unit in order: years first, then months, then weeks and days. This matters for month arithmetic — adding 1 month to January 31st gives February 28th (or 29th in a leap year), not March 3rd.

Weeks and days are combined and added as a flat number of days. Hours and minutes are not adjusted — the result is always midnight on the calculated date in your local time zone.

Common uses

Looking backward: what was the date N days ago?

Use the Subtract mode to go back in time. For example, subtract 90 days from today to find what date it was 90 days ago. For a dedicated "what was the date in the past?" tool, see what was the date.
