Schengen calculator: the 90/180-day rule

How the rolling 180-day window works

For short stays covered by the standard Schengen rule, you may spend up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. The period is not a calendar half-year and does not reset at the start of a month. On each day of a visit, look back 179 days and include the day itself. Count all the days spent in the Schengen area during that window. Both the day you enter and the day you leave count as days of presence, even if you arrive late at night or depart early in the morning. Moving from one Schengen country to another does not start a new allowance.

Enter stays and understand your latest exit date

Add each entry and exit date from your travel records, including short visits. Choose the assessment date you want to check, such as a proposed arrival date. The result shows how many days fall within that day's window and how many remain out of 90. Overlapping or duplicate rows count the same day once. The latest-exit result then assumes continuous presence from the assessment date and checks every following day. This matters because older days can leave the window during a new visit, freeing allowance. The number of consecutive days can therefore differ from today's remaining allowance. Future rows do not count as presence before their dates, and the continuous-stay estimate assumes you remain from the assessment date onward.

Check the rule that applies to your circumstances

This tool performs date arithmetic for the general short-stay 90/180 rule. It does not establish whether you need a visa, whether your visa is still valid, or whether a residence permit, long-stay visa, nationality exemption, or bilateral agreement changes your situation. A remaining allowance does not guarantee permission to enter. If your entered history exceeds the limit, the calculator highlights it; a future calculation does not resolve an earlier overstay. Verify your dates against passport stamps and tickets, then compare the result with the European Commission's official short-stay calculator and the conditions printed on your visa. Dates are calculated in your browser and are not submitted to a server by this calculator.
