Decision framework
Use this counter to track how many days you have spent in a country against the residence-day threshold that can make you a tax resident.
Many countries treat you as a tax resident once you spend more than a set number of days there in a year — often 183, but not always. This counter adds the days you have already spent to the days you plan to spend, then shows how many days remain before you cross the threshold, or how far past it you already are.
90 days plus 60 planned
With 90 days already spent, 60 more planned and a 183-day threshold, your total is 150 days — so you have 33 days left before you would cross the threshold and risk becoming a tax resident that year.
Before you rely on the number
- Confirm your country’s exact residence-day threshold — it is not always 183 days.
- Remember a home, family or "centre of vital interests" can make you resident with fewer days.
- Count partial days the way your tax authority does; rules on arrival and departure days vary.
- Keep evidence of your travel dates in case you need to prove your day count.

FAQ
Is 183 days always the limit?
No. 183 days in a year is the most common test, but some countries use different counts, rolling periods or extra ties like a permanent home. Set the threshold to the country you are checking and confirm the rule.
Do arrival and departure days count?
It depends on the country. Some count any day you are physically present, including partial days; others have specific rules. Count the way your tax authority requires and keep your travel records.
Does staying under the threshold guarantee I am not tax resident?
No. Day count is only one test. A permanent home, family base or your centre of economic life can still make you resident. Use this as a planning aid, not a guarantee, and get advice.
