🇪🇺 Schengen 90/180-Day Calculator
Free Schengen 90/180-day calculator: enter your past trips and planned entry date to see how many days you can stay, the latest day to leave, and whether past trips overstayed.
Enter every short stay in the last 180 days (any Schengen country). Leave out days on a residence permit or long-stay visa.
Worked example
A traveller from India on a multiple-entry Schengen visa made two trips this summer and plans a winter trip.
| Trip | Days |
|---|---|
| Trip 1: 1 June 2026 to 20 June 2026 | 20 days |
| Trip 2: 10 August 2026 to 8 September 2026 | 30 days |
| New trip entering 20 November 2026 | 50 days already used in the 180 days before entry |
| Latest day you can stay | 18 January 2027 (60 days) |
Without any earlier trips, a stay from 20 December 2026 could last 90 days. But someone who stayed from 1 September 2026 to 14 November 2026 (75 days) and re-enters on 20 December 2026 can only stay until 3 January 2027 (15 days), because the autumn trip still sits inside the 180-day window. Load these dates into the calculator to see it.
How the count works
- Rolling, not calendar. There is no fixed 180-day block. Every day you are in the area is checked against the 180 days that end on that day.
- Entry and exit days count in full. A Friday-to-Monday trip is 4 days.
- All Schengen countries share one count. Moving from France to Italy does not reset anything.
- Your visa may be stricter. The "duration of stay" on the sticker is a separate limit, and a single-entry visa ends when you leave.
- Overstays are recorded automatically. Since the Entry/Exit System became fully operational on 10 April 2026, entries and exits are logged digitally. Penalties depend on the country and can include a fine, removal and an entry ban, and an overstay makes future visas much harder to get.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Schengen 90/180-day rule work?
You can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period. On every day of your stay, look back over the previous 180 days, including that day, and count the days you spent in the Schengen area. The total must never go above 90.
Do the entry and exit days count?
Yes. The day you enter and the day you leave both count as full days of stay, even if you arrive late at night or leave early in the morning.
Which countries are in the Schengen area?
29 countries: 25 EU members (including Bulgaria and Romania, fully in since 1 January 2025) plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Cyprus and Ireland are not in the Schengen area, so days there do not count.
Does a Schengen visa let me stay 90 days?
Not always. Your visa sticker shows the number of days allowed (the "duration of stay") and the validity dates. You must respect both the sticker and the 90/180 rule, whichever is stricter.
Do days on a residence permit or long-stay visa count?
No. Days spent in a Schengen country on that country's residence permit or national long-stay (D) visa do not count towards the 90 days, but days spent in other Schengen countries on short stays can.
How does the Entry/Exit System affect overstays?
The EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully running since 10 April 2026, records every entry and exit digitally with fingerprints and a photo, replacing passport stamps. Overstays are now detected automatically at the border.
