Track your days, plan future trips, and never overstay in the Schengen Area
Add your first trip above
See exactly how many days you have left
The 90/180 calculator looks back 180 days from your travel date and tells you exactly how many Schengen days you've burned and how many remain. Add past trips, plan future ones, and see overstays before they happen — invaluable for digital nomads, frequent flyers, and remote workers bouncing between European countries. Everything stays in your browser; no account, no upload.
The Schengen 90/180 day rule is one of the most confusing aspects of traveling to Europe. You are allowed to stay 90 days within any rolling 180-day period — but calculating this manually is error-prone and complicated.
Our calculator does the math for you. Add your past trips, see exactly how many days you have used, and plan future trips without risking overstay fines or entry bans.

The Schengen 90/180 rule applies to all non-EU citizens visiting the Schengen Area for short stays. Here is how it works:
For a complete explanation, see our detailed 90/180 rule guide.
Within any 180-day period
Not calendar-based
All count together
Both count as full days
Thinking it resets January 1: The 90/180 rule uses a rolling window, NOT a calendar year. There is no reset date.
Only counting one country: All 30 Schengen countries count together. 30 days in France + 30 days in Germany = 60 days total.
Forgetting transit days: If you fly through a Schengen airport and clear immigration, that day counts even if you immediately leave.
Miscounting entry/exit: Arriving Monday, leaving Wednesday = 3 days (Mon, Tue, Wed), not 2 days.
Thinking one day outside restarts the count: Leaving for one day does not restart anything. You need to wait for days to 'expire' from the 180-day window.
Single trip: 14 days in Spain = 76 days remaining.
Multiple trips: 15 days Germany + 15 days France + 14 days Italy = 44 days used, 46 remaining.
Full 90 days: Stay Jan 1 - Mar 31. You can return July 1 when January days expire from the 180-day window.
US citizens: Currently visa-free, will need ETIAS from 2027 (expected)
UK citizens: Visa-free but subject to 90/180 rule post-Brexit
Canadians, Australians, Japanese: Visa-free with 90/180 limit
Schengen visa holders: The visa allows entry but does not extend the 90-day limit
ETIAS holders: Once ETIAS launches, visa-exempt travelers will need it but still follow 90/180
All other visa-exempt nationalities: 59 countries total
The rule applies to all 30 Schengen states: 26 EU members plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. See the full country list.
United Kingdom: Left EU and was never in Schengen — has its own visa rules
Ireland: EU member but not in Schengen — separate entry system
Cyprus: EU member but not fully implementing Schengen border controls
Non-EU Balkans: Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, North Macedonia (unless specifically Schengen-associated)
Overstaying is serious: fines (€200-5,000+), entry bans (1-5 years), and deportation are possible. The EES system tracks all entries/exits electronically. Learn more in our overstay consequences guide.
Always count conservatively: When in doubt, assume you have used more days than you think
Keep records: Save boarding passes, hotel receipts, and passport stamps as proof of travel dates
Plan buffer days: Do not use all 90 days — leave a buffer for emergencies or flight delays
Consider non-Schengen alternatives: Visit the UK, Ireland, or Balkans to 'pause' your Schengen clock
Check before each trip: Use this calculator before every Schengen trip to verify your allowance
Remember transit counts: Even a connecting flight through Frankfurt counts if you clear Schengen immigration
Hitting the 90-day wall on the calculator?
If the calculator keeps telling you that you have run out of days, a Digital Nomad Visa is the structural fix. DNV days do not count against the 90/180 limit, so the calendar resets the moment your residence card is issued.
