How the date 200 months ago is calculated

To count whole months, move the month number and keep the same day of the month. If the target month is shorter, for example going from the 31st into a 30-day month or into February, the date is set to the last day of that month. This is the same rule used by banks, spreadsheets and most programming libraries.

Worked examples

Starting from Thursday, January 1, 2026, 200 months ago was Friday, May 1, 2009.

Starting from Wednesday, July 15, 2026, 200 months ago was Sunday, November 15, 2009.

These fixed examples never change, which makes them handy for double-checking a spreadsheet formula or a manual count.
