60 days ago

The date and what lies in between

“Today” is your device’s date, so the answer is right in your time zone. The page itself was generated on the date in the caption; your browser recounts the table when it opens. Counting back works the same way: yesterday is the first day, and the date shown is the last.

How 60 days are counted

Counting back, yesterday is day 1 and the answer is day 60. Sixty days are 8 weeks plus 4 days, so the answer always falls 3 days later in the week than today (from a Wednesday, a Saturday). Look-back periods in statements and rules are often written this way: “in the last 60 days” usually includes the 60 days before today.

60 days ago or 2 months ago?

Two calendar months are 59 to 62 days, so the two answers never differ by more than two days. Rules that look back “60 days” count calendar days unless they say otherwise.

Common 60-day look-backs

• Bank and card statements: many dispute windows run 60 days from the statement date, so the statement date, not today, starts the count; enter it in the date calculator.
• Account activity: “no activity in the last 60 days” starts on the date shown; check whether the start date itself counts.
• Returns and price adjustments: if a purchase was more than 60 days ago, a 60-day window has closed; the days between dates calculator shows how many days have passed since the purchase date.
• Logs and reviews: a 60-day review covers about 8 1/2 weeks of entries.

Checking the date by hand

Count whole weeks first, then the days left over: 60 days are 8 weeks and 4 days. On a wall calendar, move 8 rows up from today, then 4 days to the left, wrapping to the previous row past the edge. That is quicker and less error-prone than counting single days. The table above also lists the weekdays and the federal holidays you pass, which matters when a deadline has to fall on a business day or an office is closed.

To count forward instead, see 60 days from today; for a longer look-back, 90 days ago or 6 months ago. To add up hours from the period, use the hours calculator.
