How 7 days ago is counted
Today counts as day zero and every calendar day after it counts as one, weekends included. So the answer is simply today's date minus 7 days. People most often look this up for a one-week return window, a 7-day free trial, or a week's notice.
Need a different number? The add or subtract days tool takes any figure, and the countdown calendar works the other way — pick a date and see how far away it is.
