Enter the dates of any Schengen Area stays you have already taken, then your planned trip. Entry and exit days both count as days of presence. The rule allows up to 90 days of presence within any rolling 180-day window.
Add any prior Schengen stays and your planned trip dates, then check whether the trip stays within the 90-days-in-180 limit.
About the Schengen days calculator
The Schengen days calculator checks a trip against the 90/180-day short-stay rule that applies to many non-EU travelers in the Schengen Area. The rule allows up to 90 days of presence within any rolling 180-day window. Because the window rolls, the days you have available change every day as older stays drop out of the trailing 180 days. This tool counts the days you have already spent and the days in your planned trip, then tells you whether the trip stays inside the limit.
Enter the entry and exit dates of any Schengen stays you have already taken in the last 180 days, then enter your planned trip. Entry and exit days both count as days of presence, so a trip from the 1st to the 10th is 10 days, not 9. The result card shows how many of your 90 days you have used going into the trip, how many you have left, whether the planned trip goes over the limit and by how much, and the first date you could start a trip of the same length and stay within the rule. This is a planning estimate, not immigration or legal advice. It does not account for visas, residence permits, bilateral visa-waiver agreements, or country-specific exceptions, so confirm your dates with the official European Commission short-stay calculator and the relevant authorities before you travel.
How to use
- Add the entry date and exit date of each Schengen stay you have already taken in the last 180 days.
- Use Add another prior stay if you have more than one earlier trip, or Remove to delete a row.
- Enter your planned trip's entry date and exit date.
- Select Check 90/180 days to see your days used, days remaining, and whether the trip stays within the limit.
- If the trip goes over, read the first safe entry date for a trip of the same length.
Worked examples
No prior stays, a 30-day planned trip: within the limit, 60 days of headroom
A single 30-day trip with no earlier stays uses 30 of the 90 days allowed in the rolling 180-day window.
80 prior days, then a 30-day trip in the same window: over the limit
80 earlier days plus 30 planned days reach 110 in the same 180-day window, which is 20 over the 90-day limit.
Over the limit: first safe entry date shown
When a trip goes over, the tool finds the earliest date you could start a trip of the same length once enough earlier days roll out of the window.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Schengen 90/180-day rule?
- Many non-EU visitors may stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. On any given day you look back 180 days and add up the days you were present; that total may not exceed 90. Because the window moves forward each day, your available days change daily as older stays drop out of the 180-day window.
- Do the entry and exit days both count?
- Yes. Under the rule, the day you enter the Schengen Area and the day you leave both count as days of presence. A trip from the 1st to the 10th is therefore 10 days, not 9. This calculator counts both the entry and exit day for every stay you enter.
- How does the tool find the first safe entry date?
- When your planned trip goes over the limit, the tool steps forward day by day and checks whether a trip of the same length, starting on each later date, would stay within 90 days in its rolling 180-day window. It returns the first date that works. A trip longer than 90 days can never fit, so no safe date is shown in that case.
- Does this cover visas, residence permits, or country-specific rules?
- No. It only counts days under the standard 90/180 short-stay rule. It does not account for visas, long-stay or residence permits, bilateral visa-waiver agreements some nationalities hold with individual countries, or other exceptions. Use it as a planning estimate and confirm with the official sources and the relevant authorities.
- Does this calculator give legal advice or store my dates?
- No. It is a planning estimate, not immigration or legal advice. The calculation runs entirely in your browser. The tool does not collect your name, passport number, nationality, travel documents, or contact details, and it does not save the dates you enter.
