The Tax-Residency Day Counter

People trigger a new tax residency (or get stuck resident in two places at once) by accident, months before they've consciously decided anything about where to live. This shows where your days sit against the day-count thresholds most countries use, so nothing sneaks up on you. It's a rough compass, not a ruling.

Updated September 2026

Your days this tax year

Enter roughly how many days you've spent (or expect to spend) in each place across your current tax year. Leave rows blank if they don't apply.

The line on each bar marks ~183 days (half a year), which is the single most common day-count threshold worldwide. It is not universal, and it is never the only test.

Read this before you conclude anything. Day counts are only one test. Many countries also look at your centre of life (where your home, family, and main economic interests sit) and can treat you as resident on ties alone, even under the day count. Thresholds, counting rules (arrival/departure days, midnight rule), and tax-year dates all vary by country and change over time. This tool uses a single generic ~183-day reference to show shape, not to tell you your status anywhere. It cannot and does not tell you where you are tax resident.

The free 9-day email series walks through the first year after a windfall: including how residency really works and why it comes after structure, not before. It runs as dated cohorts: join the next one and you'll go through it in step with everyone else. One short email a day, no pitch.

This tool provides general educational information only. It is not personalised financial, tax, or legal advice, it does not determine your tax residency in any country, and it deliberately uses a single generic threshold rather than any specific country's rules. Tax residency depends on facts and rules specific to your situation and jurisdictions. Take qualified, jurisdiction-specific professional advice before making any decision about where you live or how long you stay.
