Schengen 90/180 Rule Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate your available visa-free days in the Schengen Area and check whether your planned trip fits the 90 days in any 180-day rolling period rule.
Previous stays in Schengen
Enter each stay with both entry and exit dates. Entry and exit days both count.
Planned trip (optional)
What is the 90/180 day rule in Europe?
The Schengen short-stay rule allows many non-EU travelers to spend up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across Schengen countries. This is often called the “90 day rule Europe” or “90/180 rule.”
It is a rolling window, not a fixed calendar block. On every day you are in Schengen, authorities can look back 180 days and count how many days you were present. If that total is over 90, you are in breach.
How this calculator helps
This tool is designed for trip planning and quick checks:
- Calculates days used in the last 180 days as of your selected reference date.
- Shows estimated remaining Schengen days.
- Tests a planned trip and flags the first date that would break the rule.
- Estimates your latest legal exit date for a continuous stay.
How to use the 90 day rule Europe calculator
1) Add your previous stays
Input each historical Schengen stay as one entry date and one exit date. If you entered and left multiple times, add each trip separately.
2) Pick a reference date
Set the date you want to evaluate (today by default). The calculator checks your rolling 180-day usage up to that point.
3) Add a planned trip (optional)
If you have a future journey, provide planned entry and exit dates. The calculator tests daily compliance across your intended stay.
4) Review the result
You’ll get an estimate of used days, remaining days, and whether the planned trip appears compliant.
Important details travelers miss
- Entry and exit days count as full days.
- The limit applies to the entire Schengen Area combined, not each country separately.
- Overstays can trigger fines, bans, or future visa problems.
- Different rules may apply if you have a long-stay visa, residence permit, or specific bilateral exception.
Example scenario
Suppose you spent 30 days in Spain in spring and 20 days in Italy in summer. If you now plan a 50-day trip in autumn, your rolling count may exceed 90 depending on exact dates. That’s why date-by-date calculation matters; simple monthly counting is often wrong.
