How to Calculate 8 Months Ago from Today

To manually calculate the date 8 months ago, you can count back on a calendar:

Identify your start date (e.g., today).
Count back 8 full months. For example, if today is May 15th, one month ago was April 15th, two months ago was March 15th, and so on.
The day of the month usually stays the same. However, if the starting day is, for example, the 31st, and the target month (8 months prior) has fewer days (e.g., 30 days, or February with 28/29 days), the calculated date will be the last day of that target month. Our calculator handles these "end-of-month" adjustments correctly. For instance, 1 month before March 31st is February 28th (or 29th in a leap year).

This method helps understand how to find what day was it 8 months ago or a date 8 months back from today without a tool. Leap years are also considered by precise calculators.
