Schengen Day Calculator

Check recorded short-stay days in one rolling 180-day window. Free to use, with no signup required.

Your Schengen trips

Enter your short stays across the Schengen Area. Arrival and departure days both count. For an ongoing trip, enter the check date as its exit date. Do not include days authorised in a country under that country’s long-stay visa or residence permit. Trips are clipped to the window ending on your chosen check date.

This is a snapshot for the selected date. It does not check every earlier day or calculate the maximum length of a future trip.

Trip breakdown

Overlapping dates are counted once in the total. Individual row counts can therefore add up to more than the total.

Entry Exit Days in window
This tool illustrates the standard 90/180 short-stay count for the dates entered. Visa limits, nationality, residence status and special arrangements may change which rules apply. A compliant count on one date does not establish compliance throughout a trip or permission to enter. Check the European Commission’s official calculator and guidance before travelling.

The Schengen Area gives non-EU visitors 90 days within any rolling 180-day window — across all 29 countries combined. Most people misunderstand how this works. Leaving doesn't reset your count. Days return gradually as old entries age out of the lookback window.

This free calculator shows you exactly how many days you've used, how many you have left, and when your next days become available — based on the correct rolling 180-day calculation, not a fixed calendar period.

Enter your past trips, get your result instantly. No guesswork.
