EU / Schengen 90/180 Day Calculator
Track how many days you have used in the Schengen Area and estimate how long you can still stay legally under the 90 days in any rolling 180-day period rule.
What is the EU 90 day rule?
If you are traveling in the Schengen Area without a long-stay visa or residence permit, you can usually stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. This is often called the 90/180 rule.
The key word is rolling. Immigration officers do not only look at one calendar month or one fixed half-year. They look backward 180 days from the day being checked and count how many Schengen days you were present.
How this calculator works
This tool helps you estimate your status by:
- Counting total Schengen days used inside the 180-day window ending on your selected reference date.
- Showing how many of the 90 days remain.
- Testing your planned trip dates for possible overstay risk.
- Estimating the latest legal exit date for a continuous stay starting on your planned entry date.
Important assumptions
- Each entered stay counts both arrival and departure date.
- Overlapping stays are merged so a date is never counted twice.
- This is an informational calculator, not legal advice.
EU vs Schengen: quick clarification
People often search for a “90 day calculator EU,” but the rule applies to the Schengen Area, not all EU countries equally. Some EU countries are not Schengen, and some Schengen states are not in the EU. Always confirm your route and border policy before travel.
Step-by-step usage guide
1) Add your previous trips
Enter each Schengen trip as one line. Example: 2026-01-03 to 2026-01-12.
2) Pick a reference date
This can be today, your next entry date, or any date you want to check.
3) Add planned travel (optional)
If you enter future entry and exit dates, the calculator checks whether your itinerary stays compliant day by day.
4) Read the result carefully
If the tool flags a breach date, that means your day count would exceed 90 within the rolling window on that date.
Practical tips to avoid overstays
- Keep a personal travel log with exact border-crossing dates.
- Recalculate after every trip update or flight change.
- Leave buffer days for delays or cancelled flights.
- Check whether your visa type, passport status, or bilateral exceptions change your case.
Frequently asked questions
Do partial days count?
In most situations, entry day and exit day each count as full days.
Can I stay 90 days straight?
Usually yes, if you have no previous Schengen days in the lookback period. If you already used days, your remaining allowance can be lower.
Is this an official government calculator?
No. It is a planning aid. For final decisions, consult official immigration resources or legal professionals.
