Residency Day Counter

Log your trips and see your Schengen 90/180 days, each country's 183-day tax test and your days in the US, before you cross a line by accident. Two different clocks run at once: the Schengen limit decides how long you may stay as a visitor, and each country's day test is one of the ways it decides whether you owe it tax.

Your trips

One row per stay outside the US: where, the day you arrived and the day you left. Both days count. Days with no trip are counted as days in the US.

WhereArrivedLeft

To remove a trip, clear both its dates.

Days in the country that issued it don't count toward 90/180.
See your Schengen days on this date, and how long you could stay from it.

Schengen 90/180 in 2026

Within the limit. Your busiest 180 days held 80 of 90 allowed days (on 28 Mar).

On 26 Oct 2026 you have used 36 days of the last 180, with 54 left. Arriving that day and staying in a country that counts, you could stay until 18 Dec 2026.

Tax-residence day tests

CountryDays countedLineStatus
Spain 80 over 183 Under
More than 183 days in Spain in the calendar year (sporadic absences can count as days in Spain).
Portugal 36 over 183 Under
More than 183 days in Portugal in any 12-month period that starts or ends in the tax year. Busiest 12 months: 21 Oct 2025 to 20 Oct 2026 (36 days in 2026).
France 0 over 183 Under
Your main place of stay is France. More than 183 days in France in the calendar year is the usual sign of that, but it is an indicator rather than a strict count.

241 of 365 days in the US, 8 outside Schengen.

Days in each place, month by month. A travel day between two places counts in both.
Days are only part of the test

Staying under 183 days does not on its own keep you out of a country's tax system. Each country also looks at where your life is centred:

  • Spain: Your main base of business or economic interests is in Spain. Presumed resident if your spouse (not legally separated) and dependent minor children live in Spain.
  • Portugal: Having a home in Portugal on any day of that period, in conditions suggesting you intend to keep it as your habitual residence.
  • France: Your household (foyer) lives in France, even if you spend less time there. Your main professional activity is in France. The centre of your economic interests is in France. Any one of these tests on its own makes you resident.

And the US taxes its citizens wherever they live, so US tax returns continue either way.

For learning, not advice. Day counts here are cautious: arrival and departure days both count. Confirm your position with a tax adviser in each country.
