UK day counter
Count your UK days for the tax year, see which UK ties apply, and how many more days you can spend in the UK before HMRC's Statutory Residence Test would treat you as UK resident.
A guide to the tests, not a determination of your residence. Check HMRC RDR3 or ask an adviser.

Ties can change as the year goes on: more UK days can create a country tie, and more UK workdays a work tie. Re-check when your plans change.

What this counter leaves out
Split-year treatment for the year you leave or return, the tests that apply in the year of a death, and HMRC's exact full-time work calculation. The guide to keeping your options open explains split year and the temporary non-residence rules.
Exceptional circumstances: HMRC's manual says the exception “will usually only apply to events that occur while an individual is in the UK and which prevent them from leaving the UK”, and that days are not exceptional where the circumstances “could have reasonably have been foreseen or predicted”. HMRC caps the days you can leave out this way at 60 in a tax year. The counter does not apply it. Finance Act 2013, Sch 45 para 22(4) to (6) (numbers not confirmed); RDR3, Annex A, exceptional circumstances; paragraph number not confirmed; HMRC manual RFIG22200 onwards (RFIG22240, RFIG22270 seen in snippets).
