Schengen 90/180 calculator
The 90/180 rule is not a per-visit allowance and it does not reset on 1 January. On any given day you may have spent no more than 90 days in the Schengen area during the previous 180 days — a window that rolls forward with you. Enter your trips below to see where you stand today and when a planned trip would tip you over.

This page is a one-off calculator. A free BorderDays account saves your trips, tracks Schengen, UK and US limits together, warns you before a planned trip breaches one, and exports the evidence file your accountant asks for.
How the rule actually works
Both your entry day and your exit day count as full days.
A weekend in Paris arriving Friday and leaving Sunday is three days, not one. This single detail is the most common miscount.
The window is the last 180 days, counted backwards from each day.
Every day you are inside the area, look back 180 days: the days you were present in that stretch must total 90 or fewer.
Days fall out of the window as they age past 180 days.
This is why the allowance appears to 'refill' gradually rather than resetting on a fixed date.
The area is not the same as the EU.
Ireland is in the EU but not Schengen. Norway, Iceland and Switzerland are in Schengen but not the EU.
Frequently asked
Does the 90 days reset each year?
No. There is no annual reset. The limit is assessed against a rolling 180-day window ending on whichever day is being checked, so days drop out one at a time as they age past 180 days.
Do arrival and departure days both count?
Yes. The European Commission's rule counts the day of entry and the day of exit as full days of presence, regardless of the time of day you cross the border.
Does time in Ireland count towards Schengen days?
No. Ireland is not part of the Schengen area. Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are, despite not being EU members.
What happens if I overstay?
Consequences range from a fine to an entry ban recorded against you, and border systems now calculate your history automatically. Check before you travel rather than at the border.
Does a residence permit or long-stay visa change the count?
Yes. Time spent in the country that issued your national long-stay visa or residence permit is generally not counted against the 90/180 short-stay allowance. This calculator counts all Schengen days, so treat it as a short-stay tool.
