Schengen Calculator: Count Your 90/180 Days

The rule

How the 90/180 rule works.

If you visit the Schengen area without a visa, or on a short-stay visa, you can stay 90 days in any 180-day period.

The 180 days are not a fixed block. They roll. On any day, look back at the 180 days that end that day. Count every day you were in Schengen. The total must be 90 or less.

Your entry day and your exit day both count as full days.
Days in all Schengen countries add up. A week in France and a week in Spain is two weeks.
Leaving does not reset the count. Days only free up when they drop out of the 180-day window.
Days on a residence permit or a long-stay visa in that country do not count.

A worked example

You arrive in Portugal on 1 March 2027 and stay. Your 90th day is 29 May 2027, so that is your last day. On 28 August 2027, your first March day drops out of the 180-day window. That is the first day you can come back.

Nearby, but not in Schengen

Days in these countries do not use your Schengen days. Each one has its own rules on how long you can stay, so check them for your passport.

In the EU, not in Schengen: CyprusIreland
Balkans: AlbaniaBosnia and HerzegovinaKosovoMontenegroNorth MacedoniaSerbia
Rest of Europe: United KingdomMoldovaTurkey
Caucasus and North Africa: GeorgiaArmeniaMoroccoTunisia

Cyprus is in the EU but has not joined Schengen yet. It runs its own 90-day count.

Border checks

The EU now tracks your days.

The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) records each time you enter and leave Schengen. It counts your days and flags you if you stay too long. It keeps each record for 3 years.

If you stay too long, you can get a fine or a ban on coming back. Check your days before you book.

Exceptions

Some passports get extra time.

Some Schengen countries have old deals with certain countries. With a deal, you may be able to stay longer in that one country. Pick your passport to see its deals.

Your passport

Each deal has its own rules. You usually have to ask before your 90 days end, the extra time only covers that one country, and each country runs its deal its own way. Check with that country before you rely on it. The calculator above uses the standard 90/180 rule only.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do the entry and exit days count?

Yes. Both count as full days, even if you arrive late at night or leave early in the morning.

Can I leave for a day and come back to reset my 90 days?

No. Leaving does not reset anything. Days only free up when they are more than 180 days old.

Do days in different Schengen countries add up?

Yes. All 29 Schengen countries share one count.

Is Cyprus in Schengen?

Not yet, as of 7 Oct 2026. Cyprus is in the EU and runs its own 90-day count. Days there do not use your Schengen days.

Are the UK and Ireland in Schengen?

No. Days in the UK or Ireland do not count toward your Schengen 90.

Which countries in the Balkans are not in Schengen?

Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia. Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania are in Schengen.

I have a residence permit in a Schengen country. Does this apply to me?

Days in the country that gave you the permit do not count. Trips to other Schengen countries still follow the 90/180 rule.

Is this an official calculator?

No. It uses the same rule as the EU's own short-stay calculator. Check big plans with the EU tool or the country's border police before you book.
