Does this tool guarantee entry to the Schengen Area?

No. Border officers make the final decision based on all legal and document requirements. The calculator only estimates your position under the 90/180-day rule.

Should I include day trips in my past trips?

Yes. Any calendar day you spent inside the Schengen Area — including short day trips across a border — counts as a full day toward the 90-day limit.

Where can I verify the 90/180 rule?

The European Commission publishes the official Schengen short-stay rules and an official visa calculator. Links are in the FAQ and in our guides.

Understanding the Schengen 90/180-day rule

Most travellers who do not need a visa for Europe can stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. The rule covers tourism, visiting family, business meetings and transit — it does not cover work, study or living in a member state, which need a national long-stay visa or residence permit.

The word that catches people out is rolling. The 180-day period is not a calendar half-year and it does not reset on 1 January or on the anniversary of your first trip. On any given day you look back exactly 180 days and add up the days you were physically present anywhere in the Schengen Area. If the total is 90 or fewer, you are within the limit on that date. Because older days continuously drop out of the window, time genuinely restores itself as it recedes into the past — a trip taken 200 days ago no longer affects today's count.

What this calculator does

Maximum stay from your planned entry date, checking the last day of the trip against the 90-day limit.
Days already used in the 180-day window ending on your entry date, based on the past trips you enter.
Earliest re-entry date if you have no days left — the first date the rolling window drops below 90, and how many days you would have then.
A day-by-day timeline so you can see which dates are used, planned, or free.

Everything runs in your browser. Your trip dates are saved to local storage on your own device for convenience and are never sent to a server. You can clear them any time with Reset all.

Which countries count

The 90/180 count treats the Schengen Area as a single territory: the EU members inside it, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, plus Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania following their accession. Ireland is not in the Schengen Area and runs its own short-stay rules, so time in Ireland does not count. Neither does time in the United Kingdom or in most of the Western Balkans. Our Schengen vs the EU guide has the full breakdown.
