About Schengen 90/180 Day Calculator
The Schengen Area's short-stay rule allows most visa-exempt travellers to stay up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period, under the Schengen Borders Code as amended by Regulation (EU) No 610/2013. Both the day of entry and the day of exit count as full days of stay. Because the 180-day window moves with every day that passes, days used long ago quietly "age out" while new travel adds to the count — this calculator tracks that rolling window precisely so you don't have to count by hand.
Enter each of your trips as an entry and exit date. In Check mode, pick any date and the calculator counts how many of the preceding 180 days (including that date) were spent inside the Schengen Area across all your trips, de-duplicating any overlapping ranges. In Plan mode, give a planned entry date and it computes the longest single stay you could take from that date without exceeding 90 days, accounting for any other trips you've already logged.
Use this to check you haven't overstayed before a border crossing, to plan a long trip or digital-nomad stay without risking an entry ban, to reconcile a multi-country itinerary with overlapping or back-to-back trips, or to double-check a border agent's day count.
All calculation happens in your browser — nothing is transmitted anywhere. Your trips are also encoded into the page URL so you can bookmark or share a specific scenario. This tool is not an official source: always cross-check against the European Commission's own short-stay calculator before making travel decisions.

FAQ
Schengen 90/180 Day Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 90/180 day rule actually work?
You may stay in the Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. The 180-day window is not a fixed block like a calendar quarter — it moves with you. For any given day, look back at that day plus the 179 days before it, and count how many of those 180 days you spent inside the Schengen Area. That count can never exceed 90.
Does a one-day trip really use 2 days of my allowance?
Yes, if you count entry and exit on different calendar days. The rule states both the day of entry and the day of exit are counted as full days of stay. Arriving on a Monday and leaving on a Tuesday uses 2 days, even though you were only there for roughly 24 hours.
Why did my days-used count go down without me leaving?
Because the 180-day window moves forward every day, old days of travel eventually fall outside the window and stop counting — even if you haven't taken a new trip. This is why the same itinerary can show a different day count depending on which date you check.
Is this calculator official or legally binding?
No. Only the border authorities of the Schengen member states make the binding determination of your compliance. This tool is an unofficial planning aid — always verify any important travel decision against the European Commission's own short-stay calculator before you travel.
Do all EU countries count toward the 90/180 limit?
Only the Schengen Area member states count, which is not identical to the EU. Ireland is an EU member but outside Schengen, while Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein are in the Schengen Area but not EU members. Time spent in non-Schengen countries does not count toward this limit.
Tips
- Log every Schengen trip, even short ones — the window only works correctly if all your travel is accounted for
- Bookmark this page after adding your trips — they're saved in the URL so you can return to the same calculation later
- If you're close to the 90-day limit, check compliance on your planned exit date, not just today
- This tool never transmits your data — the whole calculation runs in your browser
