Comprehensive breakdown of the 24-hour period and other time references.
Need to calculate a specific time from 1 day ago? Here's how to implement this calculation across different programming languages and time formats:
// PHP
// Get time from 24 hours ago
$pastDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-24 hours'));
// Get time 24 hours from now
$futureDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+24 hours'));
// Using DateTime (recommended approach)
$date = new DateTime();
$date->modify('-24 hours');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// JavaScript // Get time from 24 hours ago const pastDate = new Date(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000); // Get time 24 hours from now const futureDate = new Date(Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000); // Alternative approach using date methods const date = new Date(); date.setHours(date.getHours() - 24); console.log(date.toISOString());
# Python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
# Get time from 24 hours ago
past_date = datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=24)
# Get time 24 hours from now
future_date = datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=24)
# Format the dates
print(past_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
print(future_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
24 hours ago from now it was 9:58:59 AM on January 23, 2026
Our calculator provides the exact date and time that will be 24 hours from the current moment, accounting for:
24 hours equals 1 full days and 0 hours (1.00 days). This means it spans across 1 different calendar days.
This calculation accounts for full 24-hour periods and any remaining hours.
The time is calculated based on the current local time on your device. It adds exactly 24 hours to the current hour, minute, and second.
Currently, the tool calculates based on the present moment. Soon, however, you’ll be able to manually enter a custom start time—this feature is in development.
Yes, the tool accounts for Daylight Saving Time (DST) based on the time zone settings of your device.
Yes, the tool will automatically recalculate 24 hours from now based on the current time if you refresh or revisit the page.
But you don't have to! Our page automatically refreshes every second to ensure that the ‘24 hours from now’ calculation stays accurate and up-to-date with the current time.
At present, you can take a screenshot of the result to share or save the time. Additional sharing options may be available in the future.
