How to use Vacation-Home Use Split and understand its results
- Choose the specific arithmetic or checklist scenario and establish its input amounts, dates, rates and criteria from the applicable records. Keep currencies, periods and jurisdictions consistent; review the tool-specific assumptions before interpreting the result.
- Enter personalUseDays, rentalDays, fixedPersonalDayThreshold, rentalDayPercentThreshold using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read percentageBasedThresholdDays, applicablePersonalUseThresholdDays, exceedsPersonalUseThreshold, rentalUsePercent. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| personalUseDays | Personal-use days | integer; minimum: 0 | Required |
| rentalDays | Rental days | integer; minimum: 0 | Required |
| fixedPersonalDayThreshold | Fixed personal-day threshold | integer; minimum: 0 | Required |
| rentalDayPercentThreshold | Rental-day percentage threshold (%) | number; minimum: 0; maximum: 100 | Required |
Enter nonnegative integer day counts and fixed threshold with percentage in 0–100. At least one personal or rental day is required. Calculate the percentage threshold and maximum of the two thresholds. Return the percentage-derived and applicable thresholds, rental-use percentage and strict personal-use flag.
threshold=max(fixedDays,rentalDays×percentage/100); personalUseFlag=personalDays>threshold Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| percentageBasedThresholdDays | Percentage-based threshold (days) | number; minimum: 0 |
| applicablePersonalUseThresholdDays | Applicable personal-use threshold (days) | number; minimum: 0 |
| exceedsPersonalUseThreshold | Exceeds personal-use threshold | boolean |
| rentalUsePercent | Rental-use percentage (%) | number; minimum: 0; maximum: 100 |

}Limitations and assumptions
Days and thresholds are supplied. This does not determine deductibility, allocate expenses or verify the legal classification of individual use days.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
