Schengen 90/180 day calculator

Count your days the way a border officer does — a rolling 180-day window, with both your entry and exit days included. Enter your trips and see days used, days left, and the next date you can re-enter. Now that the EES logs every crossing (live since April 2026), the count is automatic — so know your number before you fly.

Your Schengen trips

Add each short-stay visit — visa-free or Schengen short-stay only. Leave out any time on a residence permit or long-stay (type-D) national visa; those don't count.

The breakdown

How the count works & data sources

The Schengen short-stay rule allows a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole Schengen area (Regulation (EU) 2016/399, the Schengen Borders Code). It is a rolling window: for each day of your stay you look back over the preceding 180 days and add up your days of presence — the total must not exceed 90. Per the official EU rule, the date of entry counts as the first day and the date of exit as the last day of stay, so both boundary days are counted. The 90 days are cumulative across all 29 Schengen countries (25 EU members plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein; Bulgaria and Romania joined fully on 1 January 2025). Cyprus is not in the Schengen area and runs its own separate count. Time spent under a residence permit or long-stay (type-D) national visa is excluded — don't enter those days here. The Entry/Exit System (EES) became fully operational on 10 April 2026, digitally recording every non-EU short-stay entry and exit and automating this tally; ETIAS is not yet live and is expected to start in the last quarter of 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Is it 90 days per country or for the whole area?

For the whole Schengen area combined — 29 countries in 2026. Days in France, Spain, Germany and the rest all count toward the same 90-day total.

Do both my entry and exit days count?

Yes. The official rule counts the date of entry as your first day of stay and the date of exit as your last day — so a trip from the 1st to the 10th is 10 days, not 9.

Does time on a residence permit or long-stay visa count?

No. Only visa-free or Schengen short-stay days count toward 90/180. Periods on a residence permit or a national type-D visa are excluded — leave them out of this calculator.

What changed with the EES?

Since 10 April 2026 the Entry/Exit System records every crossing biometrically and replaces passport stamps, so your 90/180 count is now tracked automatically. The rule is the same — but there's no more fuzzy stamp-counting, so knowing your exact number matters.
