Schengen 90/180 Calculator
Type your stays in Europe’s Schengen area, past and planned: how many of your 90 days you have used, the last day you can stay, and whether any day of the plan goes over, counted the way the Schengen Borders Code counts them.

The 180 days to the check date
Quick answer: in Europe’s Schengen area a US passport holder can stay up to 90 days in any 180, counted across all 29 countries together. Every day of a stay looks back over the 180 days ending on it, and the day you arrive and the day you leave both count. Type your stays above to see yours.
How to use it
Type each stay in the Schengen area: the day you entered and the day you left, as on your passport stamps or your bookings. Put in past stays from the last six months and the trips you are planning, in any order. The check date is today unless you change it: the tool gives the days used in the 180 days ending on it, how long you can stay from it, and the first day all 90 are back. If any day of the plan goes over, it says which days and by how much. Leave Left empty for the stay you are on now, and Copy link keeps the whole plan.
The rule, in the law’s words
The Schengen Borders Code, Regulation (EU) 2016/399, Article 6, allows stays “of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, which entails considering the 180-day period preceding each day of stay”, and “the date of entry shall be considered as the first day of stay on the territory of the Member States and the date of exit shall be considered as the last day of stay”. The European Commission’s own short-stay calculator page puts it plainly: “You must count back 180 days from each day of your stay and ensure the total number does not exceed 90.” This tool counts exactly that, day by day: it is not a 90-days-on, 90-days-off rule, and it never resets on a fixed date.
Worked plans
Four plans counted by the tool. “Most days in 180” is the highest count of stay days in the 180 days ending on any day of the plan.
| Stays | Most days in 180 | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| One stay, June 1 to August 29, 2026 | 90 on August 29 | A new stay can start on November 28, 2026 |
| March 1–30 and May 1 to June 29, 2026 | 90 on June 29 | A new stay can start on August 28, 2026 |
| March 1–30 and May 1 to July 15, 2026 | 106 on July 15 | 16 days over, June 30 to July 15, 2026 |
| January 10 to February 23, 2026, then a stay entering June 15 | 90 on September 12 | The June stay can last all 90 days, to September 12, 2026 |
90 days in one go. A stay from June 1 to August 29, 2026 uses all 90 days on its last day. The next stay can start on November 28, 2026, the first day whose 180-day look-back no longer holds June 1.
Two trips that add up. Thirty days in March and 60 from May 1 reach 90 on June 29. Staying one day longer is an overstay; staying to July 15 is 16 days over, from June 30.
Days that roll off. After 45 days from January 10 to February 23, a stay entering on May 1 can last only 45 days, because the winter trip is still in every look-back until July. Enter on June 15 instead and the winter days fall away as the stay goes on: it can last all 90 days, to September 12.
Which countries count
All 29 countries of the Schengen area share the one allowance, in the European Commission’s words: “They can enter Schengen area countries as many times as they want, but only stay for a total of 90 days, every 180 days.” Days in Ireland and in the UK, which are not in the Schengen area, do not count.

EES and ETIAS
The EU’s Entry/Exit System now registers your fingerprints and photo at the border instead of stamping your passport; in the Commission’s words, “The system became fully operational on 10 April 2026.” ETIAS, the EU’s online travel authorization, is not needed yet: in the Commission’s words it “is currently not in operation and no applications for travel authorisations are collected at this point.” A site that sells an ETIAS application today is not selling anything you need. Both lines are re-read at every review of the Do I Need a Visa? checker, which uses the same words.
Common mistakes
- Counting 90 days per country. The 90 days are shared by all 29: two weeks in Italy and one in Croatia use 21 of them.
- Leaving out the travel days. The day you land and the day you fly out are both days of stay, even a few hours of each.
- Waiting for a “reset”. Nothing resets on a date: each day looks back 180 days, so old days only drop off one at a time.
- Counting a stay on a residence permit or a long-stay visa. Article 6 leaves those out; this tool is for short stays.

First trip to Europe? Start with the places first-timers get wrong. Walking the Camino takes weeks of your 90 days; see direct flights to Iceland and to Milan, and how Eurostar and Thalys differ when a trip adds London. Check your plug adapter too.
FAQ
How does the Schengen 90/180 rule work?
On every day you are in the Schengen area, count your days there in the 180 days ending that day, the day itself included: it must be 90 or fewer. The day you arrive and the day you leave both count, and days in every Schengen country add up together.
How do I calculate my days in Schengen?
Type each stay above with its entry and exit dates. The tool counts the days in the 180 days ending on the check date, says how many are left, and how long you can stay from that day, the way Article 6 of the Schengen Borders Code counts them.
Do the entry and exit days count?
Yes, both. Article 6 says “the date of entry shall be considered as the first day of stay … and the date of exit shall be considered as the last day of stay”.
Which countries are in the Schengen area?
29 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Ireland and the UK are not.
When does ETIAS start?
Not yet. The European Commission says ETIAS “is currently not in operation and no applications for travel authorisations are collected at this point”. The Entry/Exit System, which records your entries and exits at the border, “became fully operational on 10 April 2026”.
When do I get my 90 days back?
A day at a time: each day of a past stay stops counting 180 days after it. After a full 90-day stay, the first day a new stay can start is 180 days after the stay began: June 1 to August 29, 2026 leaves you free to return on November 28, 2026.
