Schengen 90/180 Day Visa Calculator
Add each of your trips into the Schengen area and instantly see how many of your 90 days you have used inside the rolling 180-day window, how many are left, and the latest date you can safely stay until. Everything runs in your browser — your travel dates never leave your device.
The short answer: you may be present in the Schengen area for no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, and the 180 days slide forward one day at a time rather than resetting on a fixed date. Both your arrival and departure days count. Enter your trips below to turn that rule into concrete numbers for any date you care about.

How the calculation works
Picture a 180-day-wide ruler laid against a calendar, with its right-hand edge sitting on the date you want to check. The ruler covers that date plus the previous 179 days. The rule asks a single question: of the days under the ruler, how many did you spend inside the Schengen area? If the answer is 90 or fewer you are compliant on that date; if it is more, you are over.
The subtle part is that the ruler moves. Tomorrow it shifts one day to the right, so the oldest day under it today falls off the edge. If that day was one you spent abroad it makes no difference, but if it was a Schengen day, your used total drops by one and you ‘earn back’ a day of allowance. This is why travellers who plan carefully can string together long stays: they let old days expire out of the window before returning.
A worked example
Suppose you spent 20 days in France in November, 27 days in Spain in January and February, and 17 days in Italy in April. By early May, some of those November days have already slid out of the 180-day window, so even though you travelled for 64 days in total, your in-window count is lower. The calculator does this bookkeeping for you and tells you exactly how many days you can still use before your next planned departure.
| Concept | What it means |
|---|---|
| Window | The 180 days ending on (and including) the date you check. |
| Days used | Days inside that window that fall within one of your trips. |
| Days remaining | 90 minus days used, never less than zero. |
| Latest safe exit | The last day you can stay if you remain from the check date onward. |

Frequently asked questions
- What is the Schengen 90/180 day rule?
- Most visa-exempt visitors (and many short-stay visa holders) may spend at most 90 days inside the Schengen area within any rolling 180-day period. The 180 days are not a fixed calendar block: on every single day you are in the zone, the authorities look back over the previous 180 days and add up how many of those you were present. If that running total is ever above 90, you have overstayed.
- How does the calculator count my days?
- Both your entry day and your exit day count as full days of presence — a common source of mistakes. For any date you choose, the tool looks back 180 days (the date itself plus the previous 179) and counts how many of those days fall inside one of your trips. It then shows how many of your 90 days you have used and how many remain for that date.
- Does the 180-day period reset?
- No. There is no annual reset and no fixed start date. The window is a sliding 180 days that moves forward with every new day. As older days drop off the back of the window, the allowance they used is gradually ‘returned’ to you, which is why your available days change from one day to the next.
- Do entry and exit days both count?
- Yes. Under the official Schengen calculation the day you enter and the day you leave are each counted as a whole day of stay, even if you only spent a few hours in the zone. This calculator follows that rule, so a trip from the 1st to the 10th counts as 10 days, not 9.
- Which countries are in the Schengen area?
- The Schengen area covers most of the EU plus several non-EU states, including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and others. Days spent in any combination of these countries are pooled together — you cannot get a fresh 90 days by hopping to a neighbouring Schengen country.
- Is my travel data sent anywhere?
- No. Every calculation runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. The dates you type are never uploaded, logged or stored on a server, and nothing is saved after you close the page.
