I am new to excel but what I am trying to do is put in a contract date
say today and then have excel tell me when the contract would be
dated if it were up 60 months. Can anyone help me.


Todays date of contract plus 60 months would be date that contract ends ...

Try

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+60,DAY(A1))

Excel will take care of the year.
