METHOD & SOURCES

See exactly what each result used.

Every saved result is tied to a named rule, version, calculation date, official source and visible assumptions.

Source hierarchy

Legislation and tax/immigration authority guidance come first. Government calculators and manuals provide examples. Blogs and competitor tools never authorize a production rule.

Rule changes

  • Detect a primary-source change
  • Create a pending version and source diff
  • Human-review examples and boundary tests
  • Activate with an effective date
  • Recalculate affected ledgers and explain the change

Professional-review state

When home, family, work, treaty or status facts cannot be resolved deterministically, the result stops at the day count and explains what remains unresolved.

Reminder limits

Alerts are best-effort convenience messages. Keep your own calendar and verify your ledger before acting.
Independent planning tool. Calculations are informational estimates—not official determinations or legal, tax or immigration advice. Verify your dates, status and exceptions with the relevant authority or a qualified professional.
