90/180 Schengen Stay Calculator
Track how many days you have used in the Schengen Area and estimate whether your next trip is compliant with the 90 days in any rolling 180-day period rule.
How the Schengen visa calculator works
The Schengen short-stay rule is simple on paper but tricky in real life: you can stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. This means there is no fixed “reset date.” Every single day you are in Schengen has its own 180-day lookback window.
This calculator helps you estimate your eligibility by counting prior travel days and testing planned travel dates against the rolling rule. It is especially useful if you have taken several short trips across Europe over the last 6 months.
What is included in the 90/180 rule
Entry and exit days both count
If you enter Schengen on June 1 and exit on June 10, that is counted as 10 days, not 9. Border authorities usually count both arrival and departure dates as days present.
Rolling window, not calendar months
The 180-day window moves every day. On each day of your stay, officials can check the previous 179 days plus that day, and your total presence cannot exceed 90 days.
Multiple trips are added together
Weekend breaks, business trips, vacations, and transit stays can all add up. If your historical trips overlap in your records, they should only be counted once per actual day spent in Schengen.
How to use this calculator correctly
- Enter all prior Schengen stays as date ranges (one per line).
- Set a check date to see your status on a specific day.
- Optionally add a planned entry and exit to test if your next trip is legal.
- Review the “latest legal exit date” shown by the tool if you are planning a flexible trip.
Common mistakes travelers make
- Assuming the rule resets at the start of a new month.
- Forgetting that same-day arrival/departure still counts as one full day.
- Ignoring short prior visits that still fall inside the last 180 days.
- Relying only on memory instead of passport stamps, tickets, and bookings.
Practical planning tips
Keep a running travel log after every trip. Save boarding passes and accommodation receipts. Before booking a new trip, run your previous dates through this calculator and compare the result with your visa type and residence status.
If your plan is close to the 90-day limit, build in a safety margin of at least 1–2 days to account for schedule changes. A missed flight or delayed exit could accidentally push you into overstay territory.
