How it's calculated
Days used on day D = days of presence from D − 179 to D (180 days, both ends included) Entry and exit days both count · Allowed while every day's count is 90 or fewer
The Schengen Borders Code (Regulation (EU) 2016/399, Article 6) allows short stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, "which entails considering the 180-day period preceding each day of stay". The date of entry counts as the first day of stay and the date of exit as the last. So the window rolls: on every day you are in the area, count your days back over the last 180 days, that day included, and the total must not pass 90. Overlapping trips are counted once per day. The latest date you can stay assumes you stay without a break from the chosen date. The European Commission's official short-stay calculator is the authority; if your visa sticker shows fewer days, that limit applies instead.

About the Schengen 90/180 calculator
This Schengen calculator counts your days under the 90/180-day rule: a short stay in the Schengen area may be no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. Enter your past trips, one per line with the entry and exit date, then check a date or plan a new trip. It shows the days used in the 180 days up to that date, the days left, the latest date you could stay if you stay on without leaving, and the earliest date a full 90 days opens up again. The window rolls: each day of your stay looks back over its own 180 days, so old days drop out as new ones are added. Entry and exit days both count, as the Schengen Borders Code says. The working is shown step by step, and the chart plots your count against the limit of 90.
How to use it
- Choose “Check a date” to test a day, or “Plan a trip” to test a future stay.
- Under “Your stays in the Schengen area”, type each past trip on its own line as two dates, such as “2026-03-01 2026-03-15”.
- In check mode, set the “Date to check”, usually today or the day you will cross the border.
- In plan mode, set the “Planned entry date” and the “Planned stay” in days, counting the entry and exit days.
- Read the days used, the days left, the latest date you can stay and the earliest date for a full 90 days.
Worked example
Three trips: 10 January to 8 February 2026 (30 days), 20 March to 18 April 2026 (30 days) and 1 to 20 June 2026 (20 days). On 30 June 2026 the 180-day window runs from 2 January to 30 June 2026 and holds 30 + 30 + 20 = 80 days, so 90 − 80 = 10 days are left in that window. Yet staying on from 30 June without leaving is allowed until 8 August 2026, 40 days, because the January and February days drop out of the window as you go. Planning instead: entering on 15 July 2026 with 73 days already in the 180 days before, the longest stay is 40 days, to 23 August 2026, so a 21-day trip ending 4 August fits. A full 90 days is available again from 19 September 2026.

Questions people ask
How does the Schengen 90/180-day rule work?
On any day you are in the Schengen area, count the days you were there in the 180 days ending on that day. The total must be 90 or fewer. The window moves forward one day at a time, so it is not a fixed half-year.
Do the entry and exit days count as full days?
Yes. The Schengen Borders Code treats the date of entry as the first day of stay and the date of exit as the last, even if you arrive late at night or leave early in the morning. A trip from 1 March to 15 March counts as 15 days.
Why can I stay longer than my days left?
Days left is 90 minus the days in today's window. As you stay on, older days fall out of the window, so the latest date you can stay can be later than today plus the days left. The calculator checks every day of the stay to find it.
When do I get a full 90 days again?
When a fresh 90-day stay would keep every one of its days at 90 or fewer. The calculator finds the first entry date where that works; it is at the latest 180 days after your last day in the area.
What is a common mistake when counting Schengen days?
Counting calendar months or a fixed period from the first entry. The rule looks back 180 days from each day of stay. Another is leaving out the entry or exit day, which makes each trip look one or two days shorter.
Is this calculator's answer official?
No. It is a guide. The European Commission's short-stay calculator and the border guard decide. If your visa sticker allows fewer than 90 days, that limit applies, some nationalities have bilateral agreements, and stays on a residence permit or long-stay visa are not counted. To count days between other dates, use the date calculator.
