How AtlasDays Counts Travel Days
AtlasDays counts each calendar day from the arrival date through the departure date for Exact Dates trips. Both boundary days are included.
Exact Dates are inclusive
A trip from June 1 through June 3 contributes three days: June 1, June 2, and June 3. A same-day trip contributes one day.
Overlapping days are deduplicated
When multiple qualifying trips cover the same calendar day inside a tracker’s country set, that tracker counts the day once. Overlaps remain visible in the Timeline so you can decide whether the records themselves need correction.
Ongoing trips use today
An Exact Dates trip without an end date is ongoing. AtlasDays uses today as its effective end date, so its total can increase each day until you close the trip.
Approximate trips do not create numeric days
Year and Unknown preserve travel history without inventing dates. They can mark a place as visited, but they do not contribute to numeric day totals or rolling-window calculations.
Transit contributes zero days
Use Transit when you did not enter the country, such as an airside connection. The record stays in your history but contributes zero days and does not mark the country as visited.
Home Country has a specific role
Your Home Country setting affects the Dashboard’s Days Abroad metric. It does not remove trips from a country tracker or change how an exact trip’s inclusive dates are calculated.
AtlasDays is a record-keeping tool. A tracker can calculate the dates you entered, but official visa, tax, and residency rules determine which days legally qualify. The Travel Rule Library explains the common rules in plain language.
If a total differs from your manual count
Compare the tracker’s places and window, then check for an ongoing trip, a Transit record, an approximate trip, or an overlap. Count the arrival and departure dates before comparing again.
