Did You Know?
Calendar months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, which is why "one month ago" is not the same as "30 days ago." The mismatch grows over time: 12 months ago is always the same calendar date one year prior, whereas 365 days ago can differ by one day in a leap year. For precise financial and legal date calculations, always use calendar months rather than a fixed number of days.
