| Function | What it does | What it requires |
|---|---|---|
| Date after (18 months from) | Finds the calendar date 18 months after a start date, with its weekday | Requires a start date, which is set to today's date until changed |
| Date before (18 months ago) | Finds the calendar date 18 months before a start date, with its weekday | Requires a start date, which is set to today's date until changed |
The interval is filled in as 18 months. It accepts any whole number, and the unit can be switched to days, weeks or years. Every result gives the date in words and as YYYY-MM-DD, the elapsed calendar days and the same span in weeks and days. An optional setting counts both the start date and the result date, which adds one day to the calendar day count.
18 Months From Formulas
| D | Result date |
| S | Start date |
Eighteen months is 1 year and 6 months, so the result keeps the day of the month, moves the month forward by six and adds one year, or two when the start month is July or later.
Date after (18 months from)
Eighteen months from November 12, 2026 is May 12, 2028, a Friday, 547 calendar days or 78 weeks and 1 day later. When the result month has no such day, the last day of that month is used: 18 months from August 31, 2026 is February 29, 2028, and 18 months from August 31, 2025 is February 28, 2027, because 2027 is not a leap year.
Date before (18 months ago)
Counting back works the same way: the month moves back by six and the year by one, or by two when the start month is June or earlier. Eighteen months before November 12, 2026 is May 12, 2025, a Monday, 549 calendar days earlier. Eighteen months before August 31, 2026 is February 28, 2025.
18 Months From Each Month
The day of the month stays the same, apart from the short-month case above. November 2026 plus 18 months is May 2028, and November 2026 minus 18 months is May 2025.
| Start month | 18 months later | 18 months earlier |
|---|---|---|
| January | July, 1 year later | July, 2 years earlier |
| February | August, 1 year later | August, 2 years earlier |
| March | September, 1 year later | September, 2 years earlier |
| April | October, 1 year later | October, 2 years earlier |
| May | November, 1 year later | November, 2 years earlier |
| June | December, 1 year later | December, 2 years earlier |
| July | January, 2 years later | January, 1 year earlier |
| August | February, 2 years later | February, 1 year earlier |
| September | March, 2 years later | March, 1 year earlier |
| October | April, 2 years later | April, 1 year earlier |
| November | May, 2 years later | May, 1 year earlier |
| December | June, 2 years later | June, 1 year earlier |
Limits of This Estimate
- Dates are Gregorian calendar dates with no time of day. The hours listed in the calculation details are the elapsed days times 24, not clock hours across daylight-saving changes.
- The number of days in 18 months is not fixed. It runs from 546 to 550 depending on the start date, so a deadline written as a number of days can fall on a different date from one written as 18 months.
- Weekends and holidays are not skipped. A contract, court rule or agency may count a period by its own rules.
