Why You Need This Calculator
The Schengen 90/180 day rule is one of the most confusing aspects of traveling to Europe. You're allowed to stay 90 days within any rolling 180-day period — but calculating this manually is error-prone and complicated.
Our calculator does the math for you. Add your past trips, see exactly how many days you've used, and plan future trips without risking overstay fines or entry bans.

Understanding the 90/180 Day Rule
The Schengen 90/180 rule applies to all non-EU citizens visiting the Schengen Area for short stays. Here's how it works:
- 90 days maximum: You can spend up to 90 days in the Schengen Area
- 180-day rolling window: The 180-day period isn't a calendar — it's calculated backwards from any given date
- All Schengen countries count together: Days in France, Germany, Spain, Italy — they all add up to one total
- Entry AND exit days count: If you arrive Monday and leave Wednesday, that's 3 days, not 2
For a complete explanation, see our detailed 90/180 rule guide.
90/180 Rule Quick Facts
Common Calculation Mistakes
- Thinking it resets January 1: The 90/180 rule uses a rolling window, NOT a calendar year. There is no reset date.
- Only counting one country: All 30 Schengen countries count together. 30 days in France + 30 days in Germany = 60 days total.
- Forgetting transit days: If you fly through a Schengen airport and clear immigration, that day counts even if you immediately leave.
- Miscounting entry/exit: Arriving Monday, leaving Wednesday = 3 days (Mon, Tue, Wed), not 2 days.
- Thinking one day outside 'resets' the clock: Leaving for one day doesn't reset anything. You need to wait for days to 'expire' from the 180-day window.
Practical Examples
Single trip: 14 days in Spain = 76 days remaining.
Multiple trips: 15 days Germany + 15 days France + 14 days Italy = 44 days used, 46 remaining.
Full 90 days: Stay Jan 1 - Mar 31. You can return July 1 when January days expire from the 180-day window.
Who Does the 90/180 Rule Apply To?
- US citizens: Currently visa-free, will need ETIAS from late 2026
- UK citizens: Visa-free but subject to 90/180 rule post-Brexit
- Canadians, Australians, Japanese: Visa-free with 90/180 limit
- Schengen visa holders: The visa allows entry but doesn't extend the 90-day limit
- ETIAS holders: From late 2026, visa-exempt travelers need ETIAS but still follow 90/180
- All other visa-exempt nationalities: About 60 countries total
EU/EEA Citizens Are Exempt
What Counts as 'Schengen' for This Calculator?
The rule applies to all 30 Schengen states: 26 EU members plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. See the full country list.
NOT Part of Schengen (Don't Count)
- United Kingdom: Left EU and was never in Schengen — has its own visa rules
- Ireland: EU member but not in Schengen — separate entry system
- Cyprus: EU member but not fully implementing Schengen border controls
- Non-EU Balkans: Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, North Macedonia (unless specifically Schengen-associated)
What Happens If You Overstay?
Overstaying is serious: fines (€200-5,000+), entry bans (1-5 years), and deportation are possible. The EES system tracks all entries/exits electronically. Learn more in our overstay consequences guide.
Tips for Managing Your Schengen Days
- Always count conservatively: When in doubt, assume you've used more days than you think
- Keep records: Save boarding passes, hotel receipts, and passport stamps as proof of travel dates
- Plan buffer days: Don't use all 90 days — leave a buffer for emergencies or flight delays
- Consider non-Schengen alternatives: Visit the UK, Ireland, or Balkans to 'pause' your Schengen clock
- Check before each trip: Use this calculator before every Schengen trip to verify your allowance
- Remember transit counts: Even a connecting flight through Frankfurt counts if you clear Schengen immigration
