Schengen calculator: check the 90/180 day rule
Enter your trips to see how many Schengen days you've used, how many are left, and whether a planned trip fits. Nothing you enter is saved.
How to use it
Four steps to your answer
- Add every trip from the last six months, and any you've booked. Enter the day you arrived in the Schengen area and the day you left, and the country. Order doesn't matter.
- Add trips outside Schengen if it's easier. A week in the UK, Ireland or Cyprus can go in as it happened: those days are shown as not counting.
- Optionally, add a trip you're thinking about. We check it against everything above and tell you whether it fits.
- Press "Calculate my days". You'll see days used and left today, the 180-day window, the next day you get one back, and, for a planned trip, the longest stay that fits and the earliest date you could go.
"Today" is your device's date. To keep your trips, download them as a CSV: it imports straight into a free account.
Worked example
Two trips, and a longer one planned
- Trip 1: France, 5 to 24 March 2026. Both ends count, so that's 20 days.
- Trip 2: Italy, 1 to 31 May 2026: 31 days.
- On 1 July 2026 the window runs from 3 January to 1 July 2026. Both trips fall inside it: 20 + 31 = 51 of 90 used, so 39 left.
- The next day back is 1 September 2026, when 5 March drops out of the window. After that, the March days come back one a day.
- Planned: Spain, 1 August to 29 September 2026, 60 days. By 29 September the March trip has left the window, but May hasn't: 31 + 60 = 91.
Not OK: the planned trip goes over on 29 September, by 1 day. The longest stay that fits from 1 August is 59 days, leaving by 28 September; a 60-day trip fits if it starts on 30 August or later.
The same trips in the calculator above give the same answer: try them. The counting guide has more examples, including a same-day trip and a 90-day stay followed by the wait to come back.
How we count
The rules behind the numbers
- Every day counts in full, including the day you arrive and the day you leave, whatever the time you cross the border.
- The window rolls. On any day, we look back over that day and the 179 before it. No more than 90 of those 180 days can be spent in the Schengen area. Read the 90/180 rule, explained.
- One count for the whole area. All 29 Schengen countries share the same 90 days, and Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican count too. Cyprus, Ireland, Andorra and the UK don't. See the edge cases.
- Bulgaria and Romania count from 31 March 2024, when the Schengen rules started to apply there in full.
- Booked trips count too, so we can warn you if a future trip would break the rule.
- The count is done on our server by the same rules engine as the tracker, so the free calculator and a paid account never disagree.
This free calculator doesn't know about long-stay visas or residence permits, which stop days counting in the country that issued them. Read how permits change the count, or create a free account to add yours.
Compared
This calculator and the EU's official ones
The European Commission publishes its own short-stay calculator (opens in a new tab), and since April 2026 the Entry/Exit System offers an official check of how long you can stay (opens in a new tab) based on the record made at the border. Those are the references: use them to double-check anything important. This one is built for planning:
- You enter countries, not just dates. Days in places that don't count, such as Cyprus, Ireland, Andorra or the UK, are left out for you. With the Commission's calculator you enter only your Schengen stays and leave the others out yourself.
- It answers the planning questions. For a trip you're thinking about, it tells you whether it fits, the day it would first go over, the longest stay that fits and the earliest date a trip that long would fit.
- It looks ahead. Booked trips are counted on the days they happen, so a problem months away shows up today.
- Your trips can come with you. Download them as a CSV and import them into a free account, which also handles residence permits: the Commission's manual says to leave permit and long-stay visa periods out.
If our answer and an official one ever differ, the official one decides. Tell us at the address at the foot of the page, and we'll look at why.
Questions
Questions about the calculator
Is the calculator really free?
Yes. There's no sign-up and no limit on how often you use it. Nothing you enter is saved: your trips stay in your browser until you close the page, and the download is made on your device.
Do I count the day I arrive and the day I leave?
Yes. Both count as full days, whatever time you cross the border. A trip from Monday to Friday is five days. How Schengen days are counted has more examples.
Does the 90-day count reset after 180 days?
No. There is no fixed 180-day period that starts and ends. On every day, you look back over that day and the 179 before it. Days drop out of the count one at a time, 180 days after you spent them. The 90/180 rule, explained covers the common mistakes.
Should I enter trips to the UK, Ireland or Cyprus?
You can. The calculator shows those days as not counting, so a trip that crosses through several countries can be entered as it happened. The UK has its own visitor rules, which don't use a 90/180 count: see UK visitor rules vs Schengen.
I hold a residence permit or long-stay visa. Can I still use this?
This free calculator counts every Schengen day, so leave out days in the country that issued your permit while it was valid, or create a free account and add the permit: the tracker then leaves those days out for you. Long-stay visas and residence permits explains the rule.
What if the calculator and the border disagree?
The border's decision is the one that applies. Since April 2026 the Entry/Exit System keeps the official record of your entries and exits, and the EU offers an official check of how long you can stay. If your own record and theirs differ, you can ask for your EES record and a correction: the EES guide explains how.
