Physical Presence Test Calculator

Track your 330-day qualification for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) under IRC ยง911(d)(1)(B)

Day Counter

Enter any 12-month period you were abroad. The PPT requires 330 full days outside the US within any 365-day period โ€” not necessarily a calendar year.

The period automatically ends 365 days later. You can test multiple windows.

Days Abroad by Quarter

Enter the number of full days you were physically outside the US for each period. A day counts only if you were outside the US for the full 24 hours (midnight to midnight).

Key PPT Rules

  • 330 full days โ€” must be outside the US for the complete 24-hour day
  • Any 365-day period โ€” does not have to align with the calendar year
  • Travel days โ€” departure day counts if you left before midnight; arrival day in US does NOT count
  • International waters โ€” time on international flights/ships counts as "abroad"
  • No residency required โ€” unlike Bona Fide Residence Test, no single country needed
  • Vacation counts โ€” personal/vacation days abroad still count toward the 330
  • Waiver available โ€” if forced to leave due to civil unrest/war, IRS may grant a waiver
โš ๏ธ Remember: Qualifying under the PPT just establishes eligibility. You must still file Form 2555 to claim the FEIE. The exclusion is NOT automatic.
