Days in Schengen in the 179 days before entry

The window moves with you

Works out how many Schengen days remain under the 90/180 rule and whether a planned trip fits inside them.

The rule sounds simple: no more than 90 days in any 180. The trap is the word 'any' — the window is not tied to the calendar and does not reset on 1 January. For every day of your stay, the previous 179 are counted up along with it.

Which produces the consequence that surprises people most: days do not come back in a block, they come back one at a time. Leave after a three-month stay, spend 90 days outside, and you may stay up to 90 days in a row again, provided the other entry conditions are met.

How to use

Enter the date you enter the Schengen area.
Count the days you spent in the area during the 179 calendar days before the entry date: the entry day itself belongs to the new 180-day window.
Enter how long the planned stay is: the calculator says whether it fits and shows the exit date.

Entering on 1 October 2026

Each row is a separate run. For an entry on 1 October 2026 the 180-day window starts on 5 April, so the days used are those from 5 April to 30 September.

The calculator does not know which days you spent in the area, and it does not count days that drop out of the window during the trip itself. Its answer is therefore cautious: in practice you may have more room, never less.

Every row comes from the calculator on this page.

What this calculator shows

The days available on your entry date
Whether the planned trip fits and what is left afterwards
The days available now, before any older days drop out of the window — a conservative figure; the true maximum needs the dates of earlier stays

What to keep in mind

The day of entry and the day of exit both count as full days of presence — that is how a border officer counts them.
The rule covers short stays on a C visa or visa-free. Days on a national D visa or a residence permit do not count towards the limit.

FAQs

How is the 90/180 rule counted?

For any day of presence, look back 180 days including that one and add up every day spent inside the area. The total must not exceed 90.

Do the days reset on 1 January?

No. The window rolls and has nothing to do with the calendar year: days return to the balance as they fall past the 180-day boundary.

Does the day of arrival count?

Yes — both the arrival and the departure day count as full days of presence, even if you were in the country for a couple of hours.

What happens if you overstay?

The consequences are set by the country where the overstay is found and can include a fine, a record in the border systems and an entry ban. The calculator is there so it never comes to that.

How long can I stay if I have already used 60 days?

30 days. A 30-day trip starting on 1 October 2026 has to end on 30 October, and it uses up the whole allowance.

Which days count as used?

Days in the area during the 180 days that end on your entry day. For an entry on 1 October 2026 that is 5 April to 30 September — the calculator shows where the window starts.

Worked example

An autumn trip after a summer one

Input: Entering 2026-09-01, 20 days used in the previous 180, 14 planned

Output: 70 days available, the trip fits with 56 left

Note: Those twenty used days might be a summer holiday. What matters is that by the entry date some of them may already have fallen outside the 180-day window and returned to the balance.
