The SRT day counter

Whether you count as a UK tax resident for a year comes down to the Statutory Residence Test: a few clear-cut tests first, then a table of days against your ties to the UK. This tool runs the same tested rules as the US to UK Move playbook and gives you the headline answer (resident, not resident, or it depends), along with how many days would change it. Every figure links to the sources under the result.
