Most countries call you a tax resident at 183 days. Are you counting?
183 days in one country and most tax authorities count you as a resident there. The wrinkle is that every country measures it differently. Some count the calendar year, others run a rolling window backwards from today. If you're juggling three or four countries, the arithmetic gets ugly fast, and you usually find out you got it wrong in April.
BorderLog does the counting and remembers which rule applies where.
How it works
You log a date and a country every time you cross a border. That's the whole input. BorderLog runs the rolling year for everywhere you've been, tracks the Schengen 90/180 window, and tells you how many days you have left before any country flips you into resident status.

Why not a spreadsheet
You could do this in a spreadsheet. People try. The trouble is that the rolling year slides forward every day, so the numbers you wrote down yesterday are wrong by tomorrow morning. And a spreadsheet won't ping you on the way to the airport when you're about to cross the line in some country you'd forgotten you visited.
FAQ
What is the 183-day rule?
Most countries consider you a tax resident if you spend 183 days or more there within a given period. Some count the calendar year, others use a rolling 365-day window. The threshold varies by country, but 183 days is the most common benchmark worldwide.
How does BorderLog count my days?
You log the date and country each time you cross a border. BorderLog treats each entry as a checkpoint: you're counted as present in that country from the entry date until the day before your next entry somewhere else. It runs the rolling year automatically so you always see current numbers.
Is this tax advice?
No. BorderLog is a tracking tool, not a tax advisor. Always consult a qualified accountant or tax professional for decisions about your tax residency status.
Is it free?
Yes, BorderLog is free for personal use. You can start tracking immediately without creating an account. Your data stays in your browser until you choose to create an account and sync across devices.
What happens if I exceed 183 days in a country?
You may become a tax resident there, which typically means that country can tax your worldwide income. The exact consequences depend on the country and your personal circumstances. BorderLog warns you as you approach the threshold so you can plan ahead.
Does BorderLog work for the Schengen 90/180 rule?
