Schengen 90/180 calculator
Add your Schengen trips below. You'll get the count that matters: days used inside the rolling 180-day window, days remaining, and how long a stay you could start on a given date. Entry and exit days both count as full days — that's the mistake this tool exists to prevent.

How the rule actually works
You may spend up to 90 days inside the Schengen area in any 180-day period. The window is rolling, not fixed: on every single day, the question is how many of the previous 180 days you were present, including that day. There is no annual reset and no calendar quarter. Days you used more than 180 days ago drop off the back and become available again, which is why the count can go up as well as down while you sit still.
Two details cost people the most:
- Both travel days count in full. Arrive 1 June, leave 10 June, and you have used 10 days. Not 9.
- It's the whole area, not one country. Four days in Portugal plus a week in Croatia is eleven days from the same 90, because the allowance belongs to the Schengen area as a unit.
When the answer is "get a visa"
If you are reading this because the arithmetic keeps not working, the arithmetic is the symptom. The 90/180 rule is designed for visitors, and a rolling calculation you have to re-run before every flight is what living somewhere on a tourist allowance actually feels like.
A national long-stay visa removes the problem rather than easing it: holders of type D visas and residence permits aren't registered in the Entry/Exit System at all, so there is no counter to manage. These have the lowest income thresholds of the routes we track:

This calculator implements the standard rolling 180-day count and is for guidance only. Border authorities hold the official record — if your own count is close to the limit, treat that as a reason to leave early, not as permission to stay.
