What is the Schengen 90/180-day rule?

Short-stay Schengen visas let you spend a maximum of 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the whole Schengen area. It is not per country and it is not a fixed calendar window — on any given day the authorities look back 180 days and count how many days you were present. This calculator does that maths for you so you do not accidentally overstay, which can lead to fines, deportation or a future visa ban.

How to use the calculator

Enter every Schengen stay (entry and exit dates) from roughly the last six months, add your planned next entry date in the “date to check” field, and press calculate. You will see how many of your 90 days are used and how many remain. Add more rows if you have several trips.

Frequently asked questions

Do entry and exit days both count?

Yes. The day you enter and the day you leave the Schengen area both count as full days of presence.

Is the 90/180 limit per country?

No. The 90 days apply across the entire Schengen area combined, not per country.

Does a long-stay national visa or residence permit count?

No. Time spent on a long-stay (type D) visa or residence permit of a Schengen state does not count toward the 90/180 short-stay limit.
