Schengen 90/180 day calculator

Add each trip to the Schengen area. The calculator counts your days of presence in the rolling 180-day window and tells you how many of your 90 days remain. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Also searched as a Schengen area calculator, Schengen zone calculator, or Schengen visa calculator — three names for the same 90-in-180 rule, and this tool covers all three.

How the 90/180 rule works

A visa-exempt traveler may spend no more than 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area. The 180-day window is not fixed; it moves. For any given day, you look back over the previous 180 days and count your days of presence. That total must stay at or below 90. Both your day of entry and your day of exit count as full days, and days across every Schengen country add up together.

Because the window slides, days you spent months ago eventually fall off the back of it and free up allowance. An unbroken absence of 90 days restores a full 90-day allowance.

Worked example

Say you spent 45 days in France in April and early May, then 50 more days split between Spain and Italy in July and August. Checking your status on August 31, you look back 180 days (to about March 5): both trips fall entirely inside that window, so you have used 95 days — five over the limit, even though no single trip or single country crossed 90 on its own. That is the part a per-trip or per-country count misses, and exactly what the calculator above adds up for you across every trip at once.

How the window actually moves, day by day

Enter Spain on 1 March and leave on 20 March: 20 days used. You come back on 10 May. Looking back 180 days from 10 May reaches well into the previous November — long before 1 March — so all 20 March days are still inside the window: 20 used, 70 left. This time you stay through 8 June, 30 more days: 50 used, 40 left. Nothing has "reset"; the window has just kept sliding forward under the same 20 March days and the new 30. Those March days don't start dropping out until 28 August (180 days after 1 March) through 16 September (180 days after 20 March) — the exact dates the window quietly forgets them and your allowance opens back up, whether or not you check the calculator that day.

What this calculator does and does not cover

• It counts presence inclusively (entry and exit days both count) across all trips you enter.
• It does not model days spent under a residence permit or a long-stay (D) visa, which are excluded from the count. If most of your days fall in one country, the 90-day rule Spain calculator adds that country's long-stay visa mechanics on top.
• Ireland and Cyprus are not part of the Schengen counting area; do not enter days there.
• Some bilateral visa-waiver agreements and the EU–Brazil waiver work differently and are not modeled here.
