How does it work?

Travellers from outside the EU may stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The 180 days are not a fixed half-year: for any date you look back 180 days and count the days you spent in the Schengen Area. This calculator does the counting for you and shows what is still possible. Learn more in the

How does it work?

What is the Schengen 90/180-day rule?

Travellers who are not citizens of the EU, EEA or Switzerland may stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The period is not a fixed half-year: for every day of your stay you look back 180 days, including that day, and count how many days you spent in the Schengen Area. That number must never be higher than 90.

How do I calculate how many Schengen days I have left?

Choose a date, count the days you spent in the Schengen Area in the 180 days up to and including that date, and subtract them from 90. Example: if you spent 20 days in January and check 15 February, 70 of your 90 days are left. This calculator does the counting for you: add your stays and tap any day to see the balance.

Do the entry and exit days count?

Yes. The day you enter and the day you leave each count as a full day, even if you were only in the Schengen Area for a few hours.

Does the 180-day period reset?

No. There is no fixed reset date. The window moves forward every day, so each day you spent in the Schengen Area stops counting exactly 180 days later. The calculator shows the next date on which a day frees up.

How long can I stay in one go?

At most 90 days, and only if you have not been in the Schengen Area during the 180 days before. If you have earlier stays, the maximum is lower. The calculator shows the longest continuous stay that is possible from any reference date.

Which countries are part of the Schengen Area?

29 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Days in all of them are counted together. Ireland and Cyprus are in the EU but not in the Schengen Area.

Can I plan future trips with this calculator?

Yes. Add past and planned stays in order of priority: the stays at the top count as fixed, and each stay below is checked against them. If a planned trip does not fit, it turns red and shows by how many days it is over the limit. Example: with fixed stays from 7 June to 15 July 2026 and from 10 March to 6 May 2027, the longest single winter trip in between is 14 October to 9 December 2026 (57 days).

What happens if I overstay?

An overstay can lead to fines, deportation and an entry ban. Since the Entry/Exit System (EES) was introduced in 2025/26, entries and exits are recorded electronically, so overstays are detected automatically at the border.

Who does the 90/180 rule apply to?

It applies to all short stays of non-EU, non-EEA and non-Swiss nationals, both for visa-free travellers (for example from the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia or Brazil) and for holders of a Schengen short-stay visa. Days covered by a residence permit or a national long-stay visa do not count. Some countries have bilateral agreements with individual Schengen states that allow exceptions.

How is this different from the official EU calculator?

The European Commission short-stay calculator is the binding reference and checks a single date. This tool adds planning: several future trips with priorities, red marks for the days that break the limit, the maximum continuous stay and a link you can share.
