Schengen 90/180 calculator
Add the trips you've already made and see exactly how many days you have left. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere — the calculation happens in your browser.
Your stays in the Schengen Area
Enter every trip in the last six months. Your arrival day and your departure day both count as full days in the area.

How the 90/180 rule actually works
It trips people up because the window moves. Here is the whole rule in four points.
90 days in any 180
On any given day, look back over the previous 180 days. The days you spent in the Schengen Area during that stretch must not add up to more than 90.
The window rolls
Nothing resets on 1 January or on the date of your first entry. Every day, the window slides forward one day — and the day that drops off the back comes back to you.
Arrival and departure count
Both are full days, even if you land at 23:00 and leave at 06:00. A weekend in Lisbon costs you three days, not one.
It's one shared pool
Spain, France, Germany, Greece — they all draw from the same 90 days. Crossing an internal border changes nothing about the count.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. This is the single most common misunderstanding. Stepping out to Morocco, the UK or Turkey for a week doesn't wipe the counter — it simply stops adding to it. Your days only come back as they age out of the 180-day window, one at a time.
All Schengen members share one pool — including non-EU members Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and Bulgaria and Romania, which became full members in January 2025. Ireland and Cyprus are outside Schengen and run their own rules, so days there don't count towards your 90.
Not in the same way. If you hold a Spanish residence permit or a long-stay national visa, your time in Spain isn't limited by the 90/180 rule. It still applies to your travel in other Schengen countries, where you're generally allowed up to 90 days in any 180. This calculator is built for visa-free visitors, so treat it as a rough guide only if you're a resident.
It depends on how long and on the officer in front of you. A day or two is often waved through with a warning; longer overstays can mean a fine, an entry ban recorded against you, and real trouble with any future residency application — the authorities can and do look at your travel history. It's not worth the risk. If you've already overstayed, talk to us before your next trip rather than after.
Increasingly not. The EU's Entry/Exit System records travellers' crossings digitally, together with biometrics, which means the count is calculated automatically rather than read from ink in your passport. In practice: assume every entry and exit is on record, and keep your own dates accurate.
That's usually the point at which people start looking at residency. Depending on your situation, the Non-Lucrative Visa (for those living on savings, a pension or passive income) or the Digital Nomad Visa (for remote workers and freelancers) turn a counted 90 days into a full year of living here. Our eligibility check takes a few minutes and tells you which route fits.
