Your Schengen trips
Enter at least one trip with an entry and exit date, and a check date.
The Schengen 90/180 day calculator helps visa-exempt travellers keep track of the short-stay rule for the Schengen area: within any rolling 180-day period, you may be present for at most 90 days. Enter each trip as an entry date and an exit date, then pick a check date, and the tool counts how many days you have used inside the 180-day window ending on that date, how many you have left, and whether you have gone over. Both the day you enter and the day you leave count as days of presence, which is how border authorities apply the rule. Everything is calculated on whole calendar days in your browser, with nothing stored and no dates uploaded. This tool is an estimate to help you plan. It is not legal or immigration advice, and it does not account for visas, residence permits, bilateral visa-waiver agreements, passport-specific exemptions, or your individual circumstances. Always confirm your situation with the official European Commission calculator and the relevant authorities before you travel.
How to use this tool
- 01Add your tripsFor each stay in the Schengen area, enter the entry date and the exit date. Add as many past and planned trips as you need.
- 02Set the check dateChoose the date you want to check, often today or a planned entry date. The 180-day window ends on this date.
- 03Read the days usedSee how many of your 90 days fall inside the rolling 180-day window ending on the check date, and how many remain.
- 04Watch for a warningIf the days used pass 90, the tool flags that you are over the limit and by how much.
- 05Plan the next entryThe tool suggests the earliest date in the next 180 days on which at least one day frees up, and you can copy the summary.
When is this useful?
- Frequent short tripsSeveral city breaks across a year can quietly add up. The rolling window shows whether the next trip still fits.
- A long stayPlanning close to the 90-day maximum, you can check the exact remaining days before booking the return flight.
- Digital nomads and remote workersMoving in and out of the Schengen area, you can track presence across trips without a spreadsheet.
- Planning a re-entryAfter a long stay, see the earliest date the window reopens enough for a new visit.
Examples
- Two short tripsA 15-day January trip and a 20-day March trip total 35 days used, well within the 90-day limit, leaving 55 days.
- Entry and exit both countA stay from the 10th to the 24th is 15 days, not 14, because both the arrival and the departure day count.
- Going overA single 100-day stay ending on the check date shows as over the 90-day limit by 10 days, with zero days remaining.
Tips for a better result
- Count the exit dayA frequent mistake is forgetting that the departure day counts. A trip from the 1st to the 7th is seven days, not six.
- Check on your planned entry dateSet the check date to a future entry date to see how many days you would have available if you arrived then.
- The window keeps rollingDays older than 180 days fall out of the window and free up again, so your available days change day by day.
- Verify with the official calculatorFor anything that matters, cross-check with the official European Commission short-stay calculator and the relevant authorities.
How the 90/180 rule works
The rule allows up to 90 days of presence within any 180-day period. It is not a calendar quarter or a fixed reset; the 180 days is a window that moves with each day. To check a given date, count the days you were present in the Schengen area during the 180 days ending on that date. If that count is 90 or fewer, you are within the rule for that date. Because the window moves, the same trips can be fine on one date and over the limit on another.
How this calculator counts
For the check date, the tool builds the 180-day window ending on that date and counts every distinct day you were present across all your trips, including the entry and exit days. Overlapping trips do not double-count a shared day. The days remaining is 90 minus the days used, and it is never shown as negative. The earliest-next-entry suggestion scans forward from the check date and returns the first day within the next 180 days on which at least one day is free.
Inputs, outputs, and assumptions
Inputs are your trips (each an entry and exit date) and a check date. Outputs are the days used and remaining in the window, whether you are over the limit and by how much, a per-trip breakdown, and an earliest-next-entry estimate. It assumes whole calendar days and the standard 90/180 short-stay rule. It does not know your nationality, visa, or permit status, and it treats every trip as time spent in the Schengen area.

Frequently asked questions
Do the entry and exit days both count?
Yes. Both the day you enter and the day you leave count as days of presence, which is how the rule is applied at the border.
Is the 180-day period a fixed window?
No. It is a rolling window. For any date you check, you look back over the previous 180 days, so your available days change as days roll in and out.
What does this tool not cover?
It does not account for visas, residence permits, bilateral visa-waiver agreements, passport-specific exemptions, or individual circumstances. It is an estimate, not a ruling.
Is this legal or immigration advice?
No. It is a planning estimate only, not legal or immigration advice. For anything that matters, verify with the official calculator and the relevant authorities.
How does the earliest next entry work?
It scans forward from the check date and returns the first day in the next 180 days on which at least one of your 90 days becomes available again.
Are my travel dates stored?
No. The dates stay in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved. Refreshing the page clears them.
