Schengen 90/180 day calculator

The Schengen short-stay rule lets most visa-free visitors and Type C visa holders stay up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the Schengen Area. The catch is that the 180-day window keeps moving — it is recalculated every day, counting backward from whatever date you check — so a trip from months ago can still be using up your allowance today.

This free calculator turns that running total into a picture. Mark the days you have spent in Schengen and watch your rolling-window count, remaining days, and any overstay update instantly across a 12-month calendar. Everything runs in your browser — your travel dates are never uploaded or saved on a server.

How to use it

• Add your trips — enter each entry and exit date, or import them all at once from a CSV file.
• Slide the reference date to any day to see your 90/180 balance for that exact date.
• Read your key numbers — days used, days remaining, your earliest next entry, and when days "refill."
• Plan ahead — test future trips before booking to make sure you stay under the 90-day limit.

Common questions

• How does the 90/180 rule actually work? It counts your days of presence inside a moving 180-day window — see how the rule works.
• What counts as a day? Both the day you enter and the day you leave count in full, even partial days — see what counts as a day.
• When can I go back? Your allowance refills as old days drop off the back of the window — see when you can re-enter.
• Do I need ETIAS? From 2026, most visa-free visitors will need an ETIAS travel authorisation — it is a separate requirement that does not change the 90/180 rule. Check with our ETIAS guide for 2026.
