When should I use a custom calendar-year tracker?
Use it when a sourced rule or personal target measures presence within a fixed calendar year and no suitable built-in tracker exists.
Last updated:
What to do
- Confirm that the period is exactly 1 January through 31 December.
- Enter the countries, threshold, and tracking direction.
- Save the official source and review the setup after rule changes.
Why this matters
Do not use a calendar-year tracker for a rolling window, UK tax year, or other non-calendar period. Record the source and have an advisor confirm the threshold when consequences are material.
The trip record should describe what happened. The tracker then applies its configured calculation. Keep documents for disputed boundary dates and avoid changing accurate history only to produce a preferred result.
Check the rule behind the answer
Jurisdictions do not all define a presence day in the same way. Read Rolling Window vs Calendar Year for the rule context and cited sources used by this answer. Official guidance and advice for your facts take priority over an app display.
Before you rely on the total
- Check the country, entry date, departure date, and local time where relevant.
- Resolve duplicate, missing, overlapping, or unreviewed GPS-assisted records.
- Confirm the tracker period, countries, threshold, and tracking direction.
- Export a fresh record after any correction that changes a previously shared total.
When to ask a professional
Ask a qualified tax or immigration professional when a count is close to a legal threshold, an exception may apply, records conflict, or a late correction could affect a filing, permit, or overstay. Jetseen organizes dates and calculations. It does not decide your legal status.
