How this is calculated
Months have different lengths, so the result keeps the same day of the month where possible. If that day doesn’t exist in the target month, such as the 31st in a 30-day month or the 29th to 31st in February, the last day of that month is used instead. This matches how most banks, billing systems and lawyers count months.
For example, counted from Saturday, October 24, 2026, 8 months ago was Tuesday, February 24, 2026, 242 days earlier.
