FEIE 330-day physical presence calculator
Check US Foreign Earned Income Exclusion eligibility from your trip history.
The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) is a US tax provision that may exclude a portion of foreign earned income if you meet the Physical Presence Test (330 full days abroad in a 12-month period) or the Bona Fide Residence Test. Our FEIE calculator checks day counts against IRS thresholds using your trip history.

- →Enter trips with country codes and dates; the tool finds the best qualifying window.

Physical Presence Test in plain language
You must be physically outside the United States for at least 330 full 24-hour periods during a 12-month window you choose. Travel days count based on IRS guidance for time zones and partial days — our tool applies standard counting used by expat practitioners but is not a substitute for professional advice.
