120 days before December 31, 2027 is Thursday, September 2, 2027
Counting back 120 days before December 31, 2027, a Friday, lands on Thursday, September 2, 2027. The start date is New Year's Eve.
How many days before December 31 2027 is September 2, 2027?
Exactly 120. The count starts the day after December 31, 2027 and ends on September 2, 2027, which is the convention almost every contract and deadline uses: the start date is day zero, not day one. Counting the start date as well would give September 3, 2027 instead, one day later, and that single day is the most common mistake in deadline arithmetic.
