Schengen 90/180 Calculator
Non-EU short-stay travellers may spend up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across the Schengen area. Add the trips you have already taken, then optionally add one you are planning.
Usually today. Change it to check a date in the past or future.
Trips already taken
Add every Schengen entry and exit. Both the entry day and the exit day count as full days.

Common questions
Do the entry and exit days both count?
Yes. Under Article 6(2) of the Schengen Borders Code, the date of entry counts as the first day of stay and the date of exit as the last day of stay. A trip that arrives and leaves on the same day counts as one day.
Is the 90 days per country or across the whole area?
Across the whole Schengen area. Days spent in France, Germany and Spain all draw on the same 90-day allowance.
Does the allowance reset after 180 days?
No. The window rolls forward one day at a time, so days drop out of the count individually as they pass out of the 180-day period. There is no single reset date.
Does this apply to my residence permit or long-stay visa?
No. The 90/180 rule covers short stays. National long-stay visas and residence permits are governed by separate rules, which this calculator does not cover.

Longer explanations of the rules this page applies.
- Who the 90/180 rule does not apply to at allEvery guide to the Schengen count assumes you are inside it. A large number of travellers are not, and the two lists that decide it are published — one in the Borders Code, one by the EU itself. Being on either changes the question entirely.
- Your visa is one of five conditions, and the officer checks all fivePeople treat a valid visa as the thing that gets them in. The Schengen Borders Code lists five entry conditions and the visa is only one of them. Here are the other four, and which one actually causes most refusals.
- When a layover costs you a day, and when it costs you a visaA connection through Europe raises two separate questions that people collapse into one: does this day come off my 90, and do I need a document just to sit in the terminal. The answers turn on the same line, drawn in two different places.
- Bulgaria and Romania now count against your 90 daysBoth became full Schengen members on 1 January 2025, and air and sea borders had already opened in March 2024. Days spent there used to sit outside the count. They no longer do, and old advice about using them as a gap is now advice to overstay.
- Your visa is valid for five years. You still get 90 days.A Schengen visa carries two dates doing two entirely different jobs. One says when you may travel. The other says how long you may remain. Reading the first as though it were the second is among the most expensive mistakes available at a border.
- EES, ETIAS, ETA: three systems, and only one of them is BritishThree acronyms arrived within a couple of years of each other and are constantly mistaken for one another. They are not alternatives, two belong to Europe and one to the United Kingdom, and none of them will tell you how many days you have left.
- Six itineraries, counted: where the 90/180 arithmetic goes wrongThe rule is one sentence long. Applying it to a real year of travel is where people lose days they did not know they had spent. Six itineraries, each counted in full, with the mistake each one invites.
- Your passport stops being the record: what the EES changed, and who counts your days nowSince 10 April 2026 the stamp is gone and a database holds your entry and exit dates instead. It is more accurate than ink ever was — and it will not tell you how many days you have left.
- ETIAS is not open yet — and anyone charging you for one today is not the official serviceIt will cost 20 euros, last three years, and apply to 59 visa-exempt nationalities. None of that has started. Here is what is actually true as of today, read from the official EU site.
- There is no reset button: what leaving the Schengen area actually does to your 90 daysFlying home does not give your days back. They return one at a time, on a schedule fixed the moment you used them. Here is the arithmetic, on real dates.
- Which European countries do not count towards your 90 daysEurope is not the Schengen area, the EU is not the Schengen area, and two EU members sit outside it. Getting this wrong either wastes days you had or spends days you did not.
- Do you have to register when you arrive? Six countries where the answer is yesA hotel usually does it for you without saying so. Stay with friends, or in a flat you rented, and in several countries the obligation becomes yours — with a deadline measured in days.
- The Schengen 90/180 rule, worked through on real datesThe 90 days do not reset on 1 January, and they do not reset when you leave. Here is what the rolling 180-day window actually does, with the arithmetic shown.
- Days that do not count: European territories outside the Schengen areaGuadeloupe, Greenland, Svalbard and Aruba are not in the Schengen area, though France, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands are. Those days are not Schengen days.
