Do you add or subtract BC from present year?

To convert a year in BC (Before Christ) to the corresponding year in AD (Anno Domini), you add the BC year to the present year and then subtract 1. For example, if the current year is 2023 and you want to convert 500 BC, you would calculate 2023 + 500 - 1, which equals 2522. This method accounts for the lack of a year zero in the transition from BC to AD.
