Schengen Calculator: 90/180-Day Rule
Add each trip you have taken or plan to take in the Schengen area. The calculator counts the days you spend inside every rolling 180-day window and tells you the last day you can stay. It runs entirely in your browser: your dates are not sent anywhere or saved.
The rule
90 days in any 180-day period, counted back from each day of your stay. The Schengen Borders Code limits a short stay to "no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, which entails considering the 180-day period preceding each day of stay." ec.europa.eu · read
Count back 180 days from each day of your stay and make sure the total does not exceed 90. home-affairs.ec.europa.eu · read
The day you arrive and the day you leave both count as full days. A day trip is one day; Friday to Sunday is three. ec.europa.eu · read
Days on a residence permit or a long-stay visa do not count. Leave those periods out. ec.europa.eu · read
The Schengen area is 29 countries. Cyprus and Ireland are not part of the Schengen area. Days in the United Kingdom do not count either. home-affairs.ec.europa.eu · read
Your trips
One row per stay. Use the dates on your entry and exit stamps, or your planned flights.
What this can and cannot tell you
- It counts days. It does not decide whether you may enter. A border guard does that, and can refuse entry within the 90 days.
- It assumes the dates you enter are right. Since the Entry/Exit System began, the border records your real dates; use those if you have them.
- A visa can allow fewer days than 90, or end sooner. The number and end date printed on your visa sticker win.
- Some countries have bilateral agreements that change the count for certain nationalities. Those are not included.
