Check your days
Your trips
One row per stay in the Schengen area. The entry day and the exit day both count. Leave the exit date blank if you are still there: that stay is then counted up to the date to check. Do not enter stays under a residence permit or a long-stay visa. Dates are year-month-day, and the date is shown below each box in the form 15 Oct 2026.
Planner: up to 5 planned stays
Enter the entry and exit dates of stays you are thinking of. For each one you see how many days are allowed, the last day within the rule and the earliest entry date at which the whole stay would fit.
Worked example
Example from the European Commission's manual
A person who does not need a visa enters the Schengen area on 1 Jan 2024 and leaves the same day. They enter again on 1 Jun 2024 and stay until 20 Sep 2024.
| Date checked | 180 days counted | Days of stay | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Jun 2024 | 18 Dec 2023 to 14 Jun 2024 | 1 + 14 = 15 | 75 days left, no overstay |
| 29 Aug 2024 | 3 Mar 2024 to 29 Aug 2024 | 90 (1 Jun to 29 Aug) | 0 days left: the last day of authorised stay |
| 30 Aug 2024 | 4 Mar 2024 to 30 Aug 2024 | 91 | 1 day over the limit |
The 14 Jun and 29 Aug figures are the ones in the Commission's manual; the 30 Aug line follows from the same counting. Press "Load example 1" above to see the calculator give the same numbers.
A second example: planning a new entry
A visa holder stayed 1 to 10 Jan 2024 (10 days), 1 to 30 Mar 2024 (30 days) and 1 May to 9 Jun 2024 (40 days). How long may they stay if they enter again?
| New entry date | Longest stay |
|---|---|
| 19 Jun 2024 | 20 days |
| 7 Aug 2024 | 20 days (leave by 26 Aug 2024) |
| 8 Aug 2024 | 50 days |
| 8 Sep 2024 | 90 days |
These are the results given in the Commission's manual. Press "Load example 2" above, then change the planned entry date to try each one.
How it works
The rule
- A short stay is no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. For each day of stay you look at the 180 days before it.
- The day of entry is the first day of stay and the day of exit is the last day of stay. Both count.
- The 180 days of a given date are that date plus the 179 days before it.
- Periods of stay under a residence permit or a long-stay visa are not counted. Stays in Cyprus, Ireland and the United Kingdom are not counted.

Also read the Commission's short-stay calculator page (it shows a last update of 27 Oct 2025) and its Schengen area page (29 countries: 25 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland). Date checked: 26 October 2026.
What the numbers on this page mean
- Days used: your days of stay in the 180 days that end on the date to check. Days left: 90 minus days used, never below zero.
- Earliest date a new stay may begin: the first date after the date to check on which fewer than 90 days of stay fall in the 180 days before it, so at least the first day of a stay is allowed.
- Longest stay from a planned entry date: we test each day of the stay in turn, counting the days you have already used in the 180 days before that day plus the days of the new stay so far. The stay can last as long as that total never goes above 90.
- Planner: the same test for each planned stay, in date order, assuming you take the earlier planned stays as written.
- Days after the date to check are not counted in "days used", but they are counted when you plan a later stay.
What this calculator does not do
- The Commission says its own calculator is a helping tool only: it does not give a right to stay, and the border authorities decide on the length of an authorised stay or an overstay. The same is true here.
- It does not check the days and dates on a short-stay visa sticker, and it does not apply older bilateral agreements. See the last question below.
- The Commission's Entry/Exit System page (dated 10 Apr 2026) says the system became fully operational on 10 Apr 2026 and replaces the stamping of passports. That page does not mention the 90/180 rule and does not say whether the system counts your days. This calculator does not read any such system: you type the dates yourself.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Schengen 90/180-day rule work?
For the great majority of non-EU travellers on a short stay, with or without a visa, the maximum stay is no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. The European Commission's manual explains that "any" means a moving period: for each day of your stay you look back over the 180 days before it and check that your days of stay in that period do not go above 90.
Do the day I enter and the day I leave count as days of stay?
Yes. The Commission's manual states that the date of entry is the first day of stay and the date of exit is the last day of stay. In its own example, a person who enters and leaves on 1 January 2024 is counted as having stayed 1 day.
Is the 180-day period fixed, or does it move?
It moves. The manual says the 180-day reference period looks backwards from each day of the stay, whether that day is the day of entry or the day of an actual check. In the Commission's example, the 180 days used for 14 June 2024 run from 18 December 2023 to 14 June 2024: the date itself and the 179 days before it. This calculator counts the same way.
How long do I have to stay out to get a new 90 days?
The manual says that an uninterrupted absence of 90 days allows a new stay of up to 90 days. You can also regain some days earlier, because days drop out of the 180-day period one at a time. The planner on this page shows how many days you could stay from a given entry date.
Which countries count for the 90/180 rule?
The manual lists 29 Schengen area countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, 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. Short stays in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland count. Stays in Cyprus and Ireland are not taken into account, and neither are stays in the United Kingdom.
Do a visa, a residence permit or an old bilateral agreement change the count?
Periods of stay under a residence permit or a long-stay (D-type) visa are not counted, so do not enter them. If you hold a short-stay visa, the number of days and the validity dates on the visa sticker matter, and the Commission's calculator cannot check them when the stay is shorter than 90 days. The manual also says some Schengen states may still apply older bilateral visa-waiver agreements that allow extra time (it names Canada, New Zealand and the US as examples), and the calculator cannot take that into account. For ordinary passports of Brazil, the manual says the old definition continues to apply and the calculator is not recommended. Ask the country you plan to visit.
