Display previous year and current year in angular

I am trying to get the previous year and current year in the format "2019-20". Is there an easy way to do this. I have written a code but its returning 2020-21.

  getCurrentFinancialYear2() {
    var fiscalyear_ = "";
    var today = new Date();
    if ((today.getMonth() + 1) <= 3) {
      fiscalyear_ = ((today.getFullYear() - 1) + "") + "-" + (today.getFullYear() + "").slice(-2)
    } else {
      fiscalyear_ = (today.getFullYear() + "") + "-" + ((today.getFullYear() + 1) + "").slice(-2)
    }
    this.year_ = fiscalyear_
    
    return fiscalyear_
    
  }

Any easier way to achieve this?

If you're only concerned with modern years then you can just get the current year, subtract one and concatenate the last two digits of the current, e.g.

function getFY(year = new Date().getFullYear()){
  return `${year - 1}-${String(year).slice(-2)}`; 
}

console.log(getFY());       // Default: current year
console.log(getFY(2021));   // Year as number
console.log(getFY('2022')); // Year as string

If you want to handle the full range of possible years (approximately ±285,426 from 1970), you'll need to do a little more work.

function getCurrentFinancialYear() {
  const thisYear = (new Date()).getFullYear();
  const lastYear = thisYear-1;
  return `${lastYear}-${thisYear.toString().slice(-2)}`;
}

console.log(getCurrentFinancialYear());
