Schengen 90/180 days calculator
Visitors to the Schengen area can stay a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. The tricky part is the word “any”: the 180-day window is rolling — counted backwards from every single day of your stay — not reset per trip or per calendar year. Miscounting it is how travellers end up overstaying by accident.
Enter your past and planned stays below and the calculator applies the official rolling-window rule for you, flagging any overstay instantly.
Your stays in the Schengen area
Add at least one stay with valid entry and exit dates.
Both the entry day and the exit day count as full days of stay. The 180-day window is rolling: it is counted backwards from each day you are inside Schengen, not per calendar year.
Why the 90/180 rule matters for your next visa
Since the EES (Entry/Exit System) began rolling out in late 2025, every entry and exit is recorded digitally with biometrics — passport stamps are no longer the only trace. Even a one-day overstay can appear in your record and be raised at your next visa application or border crossing. Consulates treat past overstays as a strong refusal ground, and repeated ones can lead to multi-year entry bans.
If you hold a multiple-entry visa, plan trips so you always keep a safety margin — arriving with exactly 0 days left invites secondary questioning. And remember: days spent in non-Schengen countries (like the UK, Ireland, Cyprus or the Balkans) do not count against your 90.
Half of all refusals are booking & paperwork problems. We fix those.
HatVisa prepares the exact documents consulates check first: a verifiable flight reservation with a real PNR, a confirmable hotel booking, compliant travel insurance, a professional cover letter and a day-by-day trip plan — consistent with each other, matching your dates, ready to submit.
Frequently asked questions
Do the entry and exit days count as stay days?
Yes. Both the day you enter and the day you leave count as full days, even if you land at 23:50 or fly out at 00:30. This calculator counts them the same way border systems do.
Does the 180-day window reset when I leave Schengen?
No — this is the most common misunderstanding. The window never resets; it slides. On any given day, look back exactly 180 days and add up every day you were inside Schengen in that period. That total must never exceed 90.
Which countries count towards the 90 days?
All 29 Schengen members, including non-EU ones like Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. Days in the UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Turkey and other non-Schengen states do not count.
What happens if I overstay by a few days?
You may face a fine, an entry ban of up to several years, and — increasingly relevant — a digital EES record that consulates see when you next apply. Even without a ban, a recorded overstay makes future visa approvals significantly harder. If an emergency forces an overstay, keep evidence (medical reports, cancelled-flight proof).
