Schengen 90/180 day rule calculator
Enter your trips and see how many of your 90 permitted days remain in the rolling 180-day window — including the earliest date it is safe to travel again.
Free, no signup, and every calculation runs in your browser. No trip date you enter is ever sent to us.

Your position
Add at least one trip with both dates and your rolling 90/180 position appears here. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
A worked example
Three business trips to the Schengen Area during 2026:
- 10 to 20 March, which is eleven days
- 5 to 19 May, which is fifteen days
- 1 to 14 July, which is fourteen days
Checking the position on 1 September 2026, the rolling window reaches back to 6 March 2026. All three trips fall inside it, so 40 days are used and 50 remain. Each arrival and departure date counts as a full day, which is why 10 to 20 March is eleven days rather than ten.
Ask again a month later and the answer changes without anybody travelling. By 1 October 2026 the March trip has fallen out of the window entirely, leaving 29 days used and 61 remaining. This is what makes a figure written down last month unsafe to reuse.
Using the Schengen calculator from the UK
The 90/180 limit began applying to UK passport holders once the Brexit transition period ended on 31 December 2020. Before that, time in the EU was not counted this way at all, which is why the rule still catches out travellers and employers who have been making the same trips for years. The calculator counts whatever dates you give it, so leave out trips taken before that date when checking a UK passport holder.
Two points matter for UK travellers in particular. Ireland is an EU member outside the Schengen Area, so days spent there do not count towards the 90. And since the EU Entry/Exit System began operating in October 2025, external border crossings are increasingly recorded biometrically rather than by passport stamp, though some travellers stay outside its scope. An approximate count kept by hand is now easier for a border officer to contradict.
This calculator does not connect to the Entry/Exit System and cannot see your official record. It is arithmetic on the dates you enter, which makes it useful for planning a trip before it is booked rather than for settling a dispute at a border.
Schengen calculator questions
How does the Schengen 90/180-day rule work?
Many in-scope short-stay travellers, including UK and US passport holders travelling visa-free, may spend up to 90 days in the Schengen Area within any rolling 180-day period. The window is not a calendar period that resets on a fixed date. Long-stay visas, residence permits, protected family-member rights and bilateral arrangements can change an individual position.
Do arrival and departure days both count?
Yes. Both the day you enter and the day you leave count as full days, regardless of the time of day. A trip arriving on 1 March and departing on 5 March uses five days, not four.
Which countries count towards the 90 days?
The 29 formal Schengen states count. Romania and Bulgaria count from 31 March 2024; 1 January 2025 was the later removal of land-border controls. Andorra is outside Schengen, although transit days through France or Spain must be recorded. ComplyEur temporarily counts Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City conservatively and flags affected results for manual review. Ireland and Cyprus are EU members outside Schengen.
Is this calculator accurate?
It runs the same deterministic calculation engine ComplyEur uses in its paid product, covered by property-based tests that verify the rolling-window arithmetic across thousands of generated trip combinations. It is arithmetic on the dates you supply, so the result is only as accurate as those dates. It is not legal advice, and border authorities hold the authoritative record of your travel.
Is this the same as a 90-day rule calculator?
Yes. The "90-day rule" is the everyday name for the Schengen 90/180-day rule, and this calculator applies it. Whichever name you use, the test is the same: no more than 90 days inside the Schengen Area during the 180-day period that ends on the day being checked, counting that day itself.
Does the rule work differently for UK travellers?
The arithmetic is identical, but it only began applying to UK passport holders after the Brexit transition period ended on 31 December 2020, when they became third-country nationals for short-stay purposes. Time spent in Ireland does not count, because Ireland is an EU member outside the Schengen Area.
Is my travel data stored or sent anywhere?
No. The entire calculation runs inside your browser. Trip dates are never transmitted to ComplyEur or anyone else, there is no signup, and nothing is written to a database.
What happens if I overstay the 90 days?
Consequences vary by member state and by the circumstances, and can include fines, a formal entry ban and problems with future visa or travel-authorisation applications. EES records external-border crossings for travellers within its scope, but this calculator does not connect to EES and cannot determine an authority’s decision.
Monitoring more than one traveller?
ComplyEur keeps a running 90/180 position for every employee, forecasts proposed trips before they are approved, and flags anyone approaching a threshold — from one shared record rather than a spreadsheet per team.
