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.
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.
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.
- 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.
