How to use the calculator
Enter each past or planned trip to the Schengen Area, then pick a date to check.
- Add every stay: the date you entered and the date you left. A trip in and out on the same day counts as one day.
- Choose the date to check. The calculator counts your days in the 180 days ending on that date, including that date.
- Read the days used and the days left, and the longest stay you could start on that date.
- Before you travel, confirm your result with the official EU short-stay calculator and the border authorities of the country you are visiting.
Our Approach
For a given date, the calculator counts the distinct days on which you were present in the Schengen Area during that date and the 179 days before it. Entry and exit days count, and overlapping trips are counted once. The longest possible stay is found by adding one day at a time from the entry date and stopping as soon as any day, during that stay or during your later planned stays, would exceed 90 days in its own 180-day window. Rules checked on 22 October 2026.
Formulas Used
Days used on date D = number of days present between D minus 179 days and D, inclusiveDays left on date D = 90 minus days used (never below 0)Longest stay from entry date E = largest N such that, with the days from E to E + N minus 1 added, no day of presence is over 90 days in its windowData Sources & References

How the 90/180 rule works
If you're not a citizen of the EU, the EEA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) or Switzerland and you're visiting for a short stay, you can usually spend at most 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen Area. Family members of these citizens may be covered by other rules. This page explains the counting method. It's general information, not immigration or legal advice.
A rolling window, not a calendar half-year
The 180 days are not fixed periods such as January to June. On any given day, look back at that day and the 179 days before it. If you were in the Schengen Area for more than 90 of those days, you are over the limit.
Because the window moves one day at a time, old days drop out as new ones are added. That is why someone who used 90 days early in the year can usually come back roughly 180 days after their first day of entry, but the exact date depends on every trip in between.
Which days count
The day you enter and the day you leave both count as full days. A same-day trip counts as one day. All Schengen countries are counted together, so a week in France and a week in Spain add up to two weeks.
Time spent in the Schengen Area on a national long-stay visa or residence permit follows that country's own rules and is handled differently. Some countries also have bilateral agreements with certain non-EU countries. If either applies to you, check with that country's official sources.
The Entry/Exit System (EES)
Since 10 April 2026, the EU's Entry/Exit System is fully operational. It records the entries and exits of travellers from outside the EU, the EEA and Switzerland on short stays, so border guards can see the days you have used. Keeping your own record of your dates is still the easiest way to plan ahead.
