How to use the Schengen calculator
- Add your trips. Enter the entry and exit date of each visit in the last 180 days, plus any planned ones, in any order.
- Leave the latest exit empty. If you're there now or planning a trip, the result shows the latest date you can stay.
- Read the return dates. You see the earliest day you can come back, and the earliest start for a full 90 days or a stay length you type.
- Check a date. Pick any day to see how many days you'd have used in the 180 days ending then. It starts on today.
How the 90/180 rule is counted
Non-EU visitors can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The rule comes from the Schengen Borders Code (Regulation (EU) 2016/399, Article 6), and it means that on each day of stay, the 180 days ending that day are looked at:
Days of stay from (day − 179) to day ≤ 90
The day of entry counts as the first day and the day of exit as the last. The calculator checks every single day of every trip, so it finds the exact day a plan would go over, not just the total. This is the same method as the European Commission's short-stay calculator.
Worked examples
One long trip. Entering on 1 March 2026 with no earlier visits, you can stay until 29 May: 31 days in March, 30 in April and 29 in May make 90.
Coming back after a trip. You were there from 1 January to 1 March 2026 (60 days). If you enter again on 1 April, you can stay until 30 April. On 1 May the 180 days ending that day would hold 91 days of stay.
When you can return. After both trips (90 days used), the earliest day back is 30 June, when 1 January drops out of the window. Each new day then replaces a day from January or February, so you could stay 60 days. A fresh, full 90-day stay can start on 30 July, 91 days after you left.
The Entry/Exit System and other things to check
Since 10 April 2026 the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) records non-EU travellers' entries and exits with a face photo and fingerprints instead of passport stamps. It works out your remaining days automatically, so mistakes in your own count show up at the border. ETIAS, a separate online travel authorisation for visa-free visitors, had not started at the time of writing.
- The 29 Schengen countries include Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and since 2025 Bulgaria and Romania.
- Time on a residence permit or a national long-stay visa doesn't count.
- Some countries have older bilateral agreements that allow extra time in that country only.
This calculator gives guidance only. Check the official EU pages or the embassy of the country you're visiting before you book.
Frequently asked questions
Do the entry and exit days both count?
Yes. The day you enter is the first day of stay and the day you leave is the last, even if you arrive at 11 pm or leave at 6 am. A trip from 1 to 3 March counts as 3 days.
Does the 180-day period reset after 180 days?
No. There is no fixed block. On every day you are in the area, the 180 days ending on that day are checked, so old days drop off one at a time as the window moves forward.
Can I leave for a day and come back to reset the 90 days?
No. Leaving doesn't reset anything. Days you have already spent stay in the count until they are more than 180 days in the past.
Do days in Ireland, Cyprus or the UK count?
No. Ireland and the UK aren't part of the Schengen area, and Cyprus hadn't fully joined as of October 2026. Days spent there don't count towards the 90. Check the current member list before you travel, because it changes.
I have a Schengen visa. Is the 90/180 rule all I need to check?
No. Your visa sticker also shows the dates it's valid for and the number of days it allows, which can be fewer than 90. You have to stay within the visa as well as the 90/180 rule.
What happens if I overstay?
Overstaying can lead to a fine, removal and an entry ban, and it's recorded. Since the Entry/Exit System started, overstays are flagged automatically at the border. If you're stuck because of illness or a cancelled flight, contact the immigration authority of the country you're in before your days run out.
