Schengen 90/180-day calculator
See how many of your 90 Schengen days you have used, how many are left today, and the longest stay your next trip can have. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to us.
1. Your past and booked Schengen stays
Add every stay in the last 180 days, plus any trips already booked. Entry and exit days both count.
2. Your next planned entry (optional)
A planning aid, not legal advice. Border guards and the EU’s Entry/Exit System make the official count. The European Commission publishes its own short-stay calculator.
The rule in one sentence
Short-stay visitors may spend up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across the whole Schengen area. It is not “90 days per visit” or “90 days per calendar half-year”. It is checked again on every single day of your stay.
A worked example
You spent 1 to 30 March in Germany (30 days) and 1 to 20 June in Spain (20 days). On 1 August the 180-day window runs back to early February, so it holds all 50 days. You have 40 days left. If you enter again on 1 August, the March days start dropping out of the window at the end of August, so a continuous stay could run until 9 October: 70 days, not the 40 you seem to have on arrival. The calculator works this out day by day.
Why it matters for your visa file
The dates on your flight reservation, hotel booking and application form should describe a stay that fits inside both the rule and the visa you are requesting. Consulates compare them against your previous visas and, increasingly, against Entry/Exit System records. A clean, consistent itinerary is easier to approve.

Questions about the 90/180 rule
How does the 90/180-day rule work?
On any day you are in the Schengen area, look back over the 180 days ending that day. You may have spent at most 90 of those days inside the Schengen area. The window moves forward every day, so days from older trips drop out as time passes.
Do the entry and exit days count?
Yes. The day you arrive and the day you leave both count as full days of stay, even if you land late at night or leave early in the morning.
Is the limit per country?
No. All 29 Schengen countries share one 90-day allowance. Ten days in France and twenty in Italy count as thirty days in total.
Do days in Cyprus, Ireland or the UK count?
No. Cyprus and Ireland are in the EU but not in the Schengen area, and the UK is outside both, so days there are not counted. Bulgaria and Romania are full Schengen members, so days there do count.
My multiple-entry visa is valid for two years. Can I stay longer?
No. A long validity lets you enter many times, but every stay is still limited by the 90/180 rule. The visa sticker also states the number of days permitted; you must respect both.
What happens if I overstay?
Overstaying can lead to a fine, removal, an entry ban and refusals of future visas. The EU Entry/Exit System now records entries and exits electronically, so overstays are detected automatically.
