Schengen 90/180 calculator

90 days in any 180Entry and exit days countRolling window

Add the entry and exit date of every Schengen trip in the last 180 days. The day you arrive and the day you leave both count.

How the 90/180 rule works

Visitors from outside the EU can spend up to 90 days in the Schengen area in any 180-day period. The word “any” does the work: the 180 days aren’t a fixed block that starts when you first arrive. Every day you spend in the area is checked against itself and the 179 days before it, so the window slides forward with you.

That’s why your days left aren’t simply 90 minus what you’ve used. Old days fall out of the window while you travel. Someone who spent 1 January to 31 March in Europe has used all 90 days, but can come back on 30 June and then stay 90 days straight, because every new day pushes a January day out of the window. The calculator steps through the days one by one, the way the Commission’s own tool does, to find the longest stay you can make.

How to use it

Add every Schengen trip from the last 180 days, one row each. Count the day you arrived and the day you left.
Still in the area? Leave the exit date empty. The calculator treats today as your last day so far.
Set the date to check: today, or the day you plan to arrive next. You’ll see how many days you’ve used up to then and how long a stay starting that day can be.

The calculator counts the 29 Schengen countries as one area. It can’t include the old bilateral deals a few countries keep, which let some nationalities stay extra time in that one country, so check with the embassy if you’re relying on one.

EES and ETIAS

Since 10 April 2026 the EU’s Entry/Exit System records every non-EU traveller’s entries and exits digitally, and passports are no longer stamped. Border guards can now see your 90/180 count at a glance, so an overstay is much harder to miss. ETIAS, a €20 online authorisation for visa-free travellers, is still to come; there’s no official start date yet.

Questions people ask

How do you count the 90 days in any 180?

On each day you are in the Schengen area, look back at that day and the 179 days before it. The days you spent in the area in that window can’t add up to more than 90. The window moves forward one day at a time; it doesn’t start on your first entry.

When does the Schengen 90 days reset?

There is no reset date. Days drop out of the window one at a time, 180 days after you spent them. A full 90 days outside the area always gives you a fresh 90.

Do entry and exit days count as full days?

Yes. The day you arrive and the day you leave both count as days of stay, even if you landed at 11 pm. A same-day trip counts as one day.

Do days in Ireland, Cyprus or the UK count?

No. Ireland and the UK are outside Schengen, and Cyprus keeps its own separate 90/180 count. Bulgaria and Romania are full Schengen members now, so days there do count.

Does the 90/180 rule apply to UK and US passport holders?

Yes. British, American, Canadian and Australian citizens can visit without a visa, but only for 90 days in any 180. ETIAS, the new travel authorisation for visa-free visitors, has no start date yet; the EU says it will announce one several months ahead. When it starts it will cost €20.

Is there an official Schengen calculator?

Yes. The European Commission has a short-stay calculator, and since 10 April 2026 the EES website can tell you your remaining days. The EES tool ignores any trip that began before 10 April 2026, though, so for older trips a calculator like this one, working from your own dates, is the safer check.
