Schengen 90/180 Calculator
You may spend at most 90 days in any 180-day window across the 29 countries using the EU's Entry/Exit System, counted as one pool. Entry and exit days both count. Enter your trips below to see the days used, your last legal day and the earliest re-entry date.
Your trips
One row per stay. Include trips from before 10 April 2026 — the EU's EES tool does not show them, but they count.

A worked example: 90 days used, when can you go back?
The window moves every day, so days come back one at a time as old ones drop out — not all at once after 90 days away. Spend 1 January to 31 March 2026 in the area and the window is full:
| Date | Days in the 180-day window | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Jan – 31 Mar 2026 | 90 days in the area | Window full on 31 March |
| 1 April 2026 | 91 days if you entered | Not allowed — day 91 |
| 30 June 2026 | 89 days still in the window | First legal re-entry |
| From 30 June 2026 | Up to 90 days, to 27 September 2026 | Old days roll off one a day |
The trap is the second trip. Ninety days away does not reset the count; it only lets the oldest days expire. Someone who leaves on 31 March and plans a fresh 90 days from early June will hit day 91 long before the trip ends.
What the Entry/Exit System changed
Since 10 April 2026 the count is no longer read off passport stamps. The Entry/Exit System records each entry and exit of a non-EU short-stay visitor, with fingerprints and a facial image, and flags an overstay automatically. Two consequences for the arithmetic: the system now does the counting at the border, and its public checker starts on 10 April 2026, so anything earlier is yours to add. ETIAS, the pre-travel authorisation due in the last quarter of 2026, does not add days.

How does the Schengen 90/180 rule work?
On any day you are in the area, look back over the 180 days ending that day, including it: no more than 90 of them may be days of presence. Entry and exit days both count, and it is a single pool for all 29 countries using the Entry/Exit System, not 90 days per country.
Does the EU's EES tool count days from before 10 April 2026?
No. The EU's official "Check how long you can stay" tool states that the remaining stay it shows does not reflect any time in the Schengen area that began before 10 April 2026. The 90/180 rule itself still covers those days, so a trip in February or March 2026 can still cut what you have left. Add those trips here.
Do days in Ireland or Cyprus count towards the 90?
Ireland is outside the Schengen area and does not use the Entry/Exit System, so days there do not count. Cyprus does not use the EES either, and the EU's ETIAS guidance says a stay in Cyprus is calculated separately from the other countries. Leave both out of your trip list.
What happens if you overstay in the Schengen area?
The Entry/Exit System records the overstay automatically and adds you to a list that border, immigration and visa staff can see. Consequences are set by national law: removal, fines, detention or a future entry ban. Credible evidence of unforeseeable circumstances, such as a hospital stay, can get the record amended.
Do I need ETIAS for the Schengen area?
Not yet. As of 10 October 2026, ETIAS is not in operation; the EU says it starts in the last quarter of 2026 and will announce the date months ahead. It will cost EUR 20 and does not change the 90/180 count — it is a pre-travel authorisation, not extra days.
