Schengen 90/180-day calculator
Add the dates of your stays in the Schengen area, past or planned. The calculator shows how many of your 90 days you have used, how many are left on any date, and the longest stay you could start then. It runs in your browser; nothing is saved or sent.
Your stays in the Schengen area
Add each stay, past or planned. The day you arrive and the day you leave both count.

How the rule is counted
Visitors who do not need a long-stay visa or residence permit may stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. It is a moving window, not a calendar half-year: for each day you are there, look back over the previous 180 days, and the total must stay at 90 or below. This calculator counts the same way as the European Commission's short-stay calculator.
- Entry and exit days count in full, so a Friday to Sunday weekend uses three days.
- All Schengen countries share one allowance. Ten days in France and ten in Italy are twenty days, not ten each.
- The 29 Schengen countries are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Bulgaria and Romania became full members on 1 January 2025.
- Not counted: days in the UK, Ireland and Cyprus, and time spent on a long-stay visa or residence permit.
Overstaying can lead to a fine, an entry ban or refused visas in future, and the Entry/Exit System now records every crossing, so it is worth checking before you book. See our guides to the Schengen visa, the Entry/Exit System and ETIAS.
One eSIM for every Schengen country
Our Europe+ eSIM works across all 29 Schengen countries, plus the UK and Turkey, so you keep data when you cross a border, from $12.99 for 5GB. Install it before you fly and keep your own SIM for calls and bank codes.
Questions, answered
How does the 90/180-day rule work?
You can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period. On every day of a stay, count back 180 days: the days you spent in the Schengen area in that window must not add up to more than 90.
Do the day I arrive and the day I leave both count?
Yes. The entry day counts as the first day of your stay and the exit day as the last, even if you were only there for a few hours.
Does time in the UK, Ireland or Cyprus count?
No. They are not part of the Schengen area, so days there do not count. Days in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland do count, because they are Schengen members.
Does a long-stay visa or residence permit count towards the 90 days?
No. Time spent on a long-stay (national D) visa or a residence permit from a Schengen country is not counted towards the short-stay limit.
When do I get a fresh 90 days?
Days only drop out of the count once they are more than 180 days in the past. After a continuous 90 days outside the Schengen area, a full new stay of up to 90 days is available.
Who checks my days now that passports are not stamped?
Since 10 April 2026 the EU Entry/Exit System records each entry and exit digitally at the external border, replacing passport stamps. It also flags anyone who stays longer than allowed.
Rules checked on 25 October 2026 against the European Commission's short-stay calculator and Schengen pages. A planning aid only: border officers and national authorities decide how long you may stay.
