The UK residence test asks 6 key questions to establish residence. There are three Automatic Overseas tests and three Automatic UK tests. If these tests are not conclusive, the test then considers your connections ('Ties') with the UK.
The Sufficient Ties test counts the number of ties you have with the UK and allocates an allowable number of days in the UK. Ties include:
Family,
Accommodation, UK
Work,
The 90 Day tie and also
Your presence in the UK relative to any other country
US Expats
To become an Expat, US citizens must meet the Physical Presence Test.
“Generally to meet the physical presence test, you must be physically present in a foreign country or countries for at least 330 days during a 12 month period. You can count days you spend abroad for any reason… A Full Day is a period of 24 consecutive hours, beginning at midnight.”

TrackingDays includes a Non USA Days feature that tracks full days, midnight to midnight spent outside of the USA.
Snowbirds and Non-USA Citizens
TrackingDays flexibility can help you count your US days for the complicated Substantial Presence Test formula, over a period of 3 years.
Foreigners who own property in the USA or simply enjoy spending their vacation or retirement time in the US also need to keep a close eye on the number of days they spend there.
The IRS uses it’s Substantial Presence Test to calculate if a person is a U.S. resident for Tax Purposes.
To meet the test, you must be in the US for 31 days in the current year and no more than 183 days during the current and two preceding years. But, importantly to arrive at the 183 days figure you must add together:
100% of the days you are present in the current year
1/3 of the days you were present in the previous year and
1/6 of the days you were present two years previous
