Understanding the 90/180 Days Rule: Calculating Your Allowed Stay Length Correctly

The 90/180 day rule says that visitors are allowed a maximum stay of 90 days within any given 180-day period. Despite its seemingly straightforward definition, accurately calculating your allowed stay length under this rule can prove quite challenging, and often it isn't as intuitive as it appears.

Let's unpack this with a practical example:

Assume you've been traveling in the Schengen Area from January 1 to February 28, a total of 59 days. You plan to re-enter the Schengen zone on June 1. At first glance, you might believe that you've spent 59 days in the area within the preceding 180-day period, leaving you with 31 days for your upcoming stay. However, this is a misconception.

In reality, if you enter on June 1, you can remain for up to 90 days without contravening the 90/180 rule. This is because the 180-day window moves dynamically with your stay, causing days from your earlier visit to start falling outside this period. Thus, as you stay, one day is added while another day drops out of this window, maintaining a balance. It's as if you're on a seesaw, where within every rolling 180-day period from the day of your stay, you've spent exactly 90 days in the Schengen Area, but not more. This means that your stay may actually extend longer than you initially thought.

The Schengen Calculator is a tool that ensures you don't breach the 90/180-day rule during your future stay. It does this by finding the longest possible period under the rule and displays this information under the corresponding date in the calendar. This tool makes it significantly easier to plan your travels without worrying about unintentionally violating the 90/180 rule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the schengen 90/180 days rule work.

The 90/180 days rule in the Schengen area means that non-EEA visitors can only stay for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. It's important to understand that this 180-day window is continuously moving, as it shifts forward one day at a time. This means that to determine your remaining days allowed in the Schengen area, you cannot simply subtract the number of days spent within the last 180 days from 90 on the date of entry. Instead, you must consider how the moving 180-day window affects your total days spent in the Schengen area for each day of your planned stay. The length of your stay is determined by finding the longest period of consequtive days in which you have not exceeded the 90/180 days rule. Calculating the remaining days under the 90/180 days rule in the Schengen area can be quite challenging to do in your head, given the nature of the rolling 180-day window. Fortunately, there's a helpful tool called the Schengen 90/180 days calculator that simplifies this process. This free online tool automatically accounts for the moving window and helps you accurately determine your remaining days in the Schengen area, ensuring you stay compliant with the 90/180 days rule.

I see that allowed days can change rapidly on two near dates. Why it is so?

It is possible that on one date the number of allowed days is, lets say 50, but on the next day it can become 90. This happens because starting from next day one of your past trips could completely stop affecting your stay length. Because 180 days window is moving with your stay, days from past trip start to fall out of it. So, one day is added, one is deducted, the total stays the same and past trip with all its days is no longer adding "counted" days.

How can I check that the number of days is correct? I did the calculation by myself and got different result.

What our users say about Schengen Simple

TY Schengen Simple for making my travels so much less complicated. Working out Visa rules and allowances is no longer a nightmare!- so easy to use - love the new addition of having a summary when crossing borders (passport control) - genius. Highly recommended app

I had been struggling to understand the “rolling 180 days” concept. I tried a few apps, ended up even more confused. I even tried working it out on paper! Then I tried Schengen Simple. It is so straightforward, with clear views of status on days available, days used, and clear explanations every step of the way. You can even try putting additional dates in to see if it takes you beyond the 90 days. Takes all the stress out of planning trips.

Cantankerous1951

In a complicated sea of 90/180 legislation this is the best Schengen calculator I have come across. As well as being intuitive to use and clear in presenting your allowance there is a wealth of helpful advice and the new updated version has some neat additional features; Overstay and Passport Control. The calculations are rapid and make for efficient journey planning. A vital tool if you are likely to maximise your 90/180 allowance!

I love this app, makes my life so easy. It’s extremely intuitive, easy to use and includes all you need to calculate the days left,the exact date when your days run out, and the first day when you can enter again (it warns you if you’re running out of days!). You can immediately see in the calendar the days left per each hypothetical date of entry in the future - counting all the past and future trips you’ve already entered. So just looking at the calendar you know when you can enter and for how long. I loved the design too!!

LiviaLondon

Schengen Simple is really an amazing app. My family lives in Europe and I always need to make sure that I stay within the 180 day rule. The 90 days are easy to understand - within the 180 days - that is the tricky part. With this app you will be sure that you do not overstay. And what is also a great feature is that it keeps all your previous travel dates. It is not free, but it is worth the money. I tried many apps, at last I found the perfect one!

Travelling regularly in and out of the Schengen area (incl Switzerland), this app makes my life a lot easier, thanks! You can pencil in all your trips, label them etc and squeeze in trips between two planned dates. Easy to see the allowance for each potential date of entry directly in the calendar without entering a trip. Also easy to shorten/lengthen trips as needed to make good use of 90 days of stay in each 180-day period. A well-designed that looks good!

Currently, spending time in the below EU, non-Schengen countries will not count towards your 90 days, so you can enjoy travelling to these countries without clocking up days on your 90-day allowance. Although to be aware, they do have their own separate 90-day visa limits so in the case of Bulgaria for example, you will get your passport stamped when you enter and exit the country, but the days won't count towards your 90-day allowance.

Cyprus Ireland

My top tip for travellers heading to Andorra: whilst your time in Andorra won't count towards your 90 days, you will need to ensure that when you enter and exit the country from France or Spain that you ask the local Andorra border control  to stamp your passport. Failure to do this will result in your days in Andorra being counted.

How the 90-180 day rule works

Unknown to most, the 180 days relating to the rule is actually a moveable time frame rather than a fixed 180-day period. For planning, the 180 days is calculated backwards from your planned entry date into the Schengen area. After you have exited, to check how many unused days of your allowance you have remaining, you need to count 180 days backwards from your last exit or planned exit date.

Each time you re-enter the Schengen area, the 180 days will be re-calculated backwards from your new entry date.

What the calculators calculate

• As you enter multiple planned trips, any trip that takes you over your allowance will be flagged!

Calculate unit costs for eligible travel costs

Commission Decision C(2021)35 , as amended by Commission Decision C(2023)4928, authorises the use of unit costs for the reimbursement of  eligible travel costs  awarded under any action or programme financed by the Union budget under the 2021-2027 MFF period. This page provides two calculators to allow the granting authority calculate the relevant distance for identifying the correct unit cost under point 5.1 of the Decision (Amounts for return air, rail and combined air/rail journey).

The unit cost to be paid depends on the distance between the place of departure and place of arrival. The two calculators below can be used to calculate this distance. The appropriate unit cost for a return trip will be determined by comparing the distance from the calculator to the distance bands listed in table 1 and table 2 below. The table to be used will depend on the date of opening of the relevant call and the end date of the project (see explanations under table 1 and table 2 below).

Schengen Visa Calculator

Schengen calculator.

• The Schengen visa calculator is a tool allowing you to find out how much time is left on your visa and determine if you are in compliance with the ’90 days/180-day’ rule.
• You can access our Schengen calculator online on our website on every page.

To use the Schengen calculator:

• Enter your “ Date of Entry ” in the Schengen area, followed by “ Date of Exit ” in the second box.
• Click “ Calculate ”. The boxes will display the “ No. of Days ” on your trip, the number of days in your “ Schengen Days Calculation ”, and (if applicable) the number of “ Overstay Days ”.
• If you are considering a multiple-entry visa, you can click “ Add ” to enter the entry and exit days for another trip.
• For example, if you input the entry date 01/01/2021 (January 1 st , 2021) and the exit date 30/04/2021 (April 30 th , 2021) in the calculator, the result will read: “No. of Days”: 120, Schengen Days Calculation: 120 of 90 days, Overstay Days: 30. Because you are only allowed to spend 90 days in the Schengen area, and your proposed stay is for 120 days, it would result in you overstaying your visa by 30 days.
• Armed with this information, you can then alter your trip accordingly so that your intended visit does not result in you overstaying your visa.

Please note, do not take for granted from the resulting calculation that you will be allowed to stay in the Schengen area during the period it describes. The calculator is not an official source/authority for Schengen stays, it is merely a guide. 

Overstaying Your Schengen Visa   

• It’s up to you to make sure that you do not overstay your short-term Schengen visa. This can be more complicated than you would think, especially if you possess a multiple-entry visa and are entering and exiting the Schengen area more than twice throughout your visa validity period.
• You must not stay more than 90 days .
• You must not stay past the “UNTIL” date on your visa sticker .
• These two principles can occasionally be in conflict, especially if you have a multiple-entry visa. When you are making multiple entries to the Schengen area, it can be confusing to remember how much time you have actually spent in the area.
• At some point, you may find yourself in a situation where you have more days left on your visa (i.e. your total time spent in the Schengen area is under 90 days) but are nearing your necessary date of departure. In all cases whatsoever, however, you must leave the Schengen area on or before your prescribed “UNTIL” date located on your visa sticker- even if you have spent under 90 days in the Schengen area.
• Because of this, it is critical that you know how to read your visa sticker and are aware of the date you need to exit the Schengen area.
• Please note, you are not required to enter the Schengen area on the exact “From” date on your visa sticker. However, please keep in mind that if you enter the Schengen area on a date following the “From” date, the day you truly entered the area will become your true date of entry, and your reference point for determining how many days you have stayed in the area (and how many days you have left on your visa).
• the period of time on your visa sticker between “FROM…UNTIL” often exceeds 90 days (DURATION OF STAY). This is intended to allow you to better plan your dates of arrival and departure to/from the Schengen area/territory. It does NOT mean that your visa is valid for that entire period-i.e. for more than 90 days.

Schengen visa calculator: The 90/180 rule

• If you have a short-stay Schengen visa, you may not stay in the Schengen area for more than 90 days within a 180-day period; this principle is commonly known as the 90/180 rule, and it applies to everyone who has a short-stay Schengen visa-without exception.
• This rule is easily understood in connection with single-entry Schengen visas. If, for example, you have a single-entry Schengen visa, and you enter the Schengen area on January 1 st , 2020, you must leave the Schengen area on or before March 30 th , 2020; a period of 90 days.
• You must be particularly mindful of the 90/180 rule if you have a multiple-entry Schengen visa. For example, say you have a multiple-entry Schengen visa that is valid FROM January 1 st, 2023 UNTIL June 30 th , 2023. Say you stay in the Schengen area for 30 days after entering, leave, return to the area after 50 days, stay for 15, and leave again for 100 days. Technically, you will have only spent 45 days in the Schengen area, well under the 90-day limitation. However, because your visa validity end date (next to “UNTIL” on your visa) is June 30 th , 2020, you will have exceeded your visa validity period, and you cannot re-enter the Schengen area with the same visa.
• The 90/180 rule also applies to people who would seek to get another Schengen visa once their first visa expires (i.e. in order to stay longer than 90 days). This rule has the practical effect of preventing people from forming a kind of long-term Schengen visa out of multiple short-term ones. Say, for example, that you have a Schengen visa valid for 90 days within a 6-month period, and you spend 90 days in the Schengen area. If you attempt to get a new Schengen visa after staying 90 days within that 180-day period, you must wait until the rest of your original 180-day period has expired (it began from your day of first entry) so that when you receive your new visa, you will begin a new period of 180 days.
• A good way of making sure you do not overstay your multiple entry visa is by referencing the entry/exit stamps in your passport, which will be stamped with the date every time you enter and exit the Schengen area.
• Monetary fine.
• Instant deportation.
• Multi-year ban from the Schengen area.
• You will likely be denied a Schengen visa the next time you try to apply for one. In determining whether or not to grant you a Schengen visa, your consulate will look at your past history to determine if you have ever overstayed your Schengen visa. All information pertaining to your Schengen visa history is stored in the Schengen Information System (SIS). Therefore, overstaying a Schengen visa will almost certainly negatively affect any future Schengen visas you apply for.

Schengen Visa Calculator FAQs:

How do i calculate my schengen days.

To calculate your Schengen days, follow these steps:

Determine the start date of your Schengen visa or the date you entered the Schengen area if you are visa-exempt.

Count each day that you are physically present in any Schengen country, including the day you arrived and the day you depart.

Exclude days when you are in a country that is not part of the Schengen area.

If you have multiple entries and exits, make sure to include all of the days you were present in the Schengen area, even if you left and returned later.

Do not count days when you are transiting through a Schengen country without leaving the airport.

If you have a multiple-entry Schengen visa, make sure you do not exceed the maximum number of days allowed in any 180-day period.

How are Schengen visa days counted?

Schengen visa days are counted in the same way as Schengen days for visa-exempt travelers. Here are the key things to keep in mind when counting Schengen visa days:

Your Schengen visa will have a validity period, which is the period during which you can enter the Schengen area. This validity period is typically indicated on the visa sticker in your passport.

Once you enter the Schengen area, you can stay for a certain number of days, which is also indicated on the visa sticker. This is known as the “duration of stay” or “maximum stay”.

To calculate your Schengen visa days, you should start counting from the day you enter the Schengen area, including that day. The last day of your allowed stay is the day before the visa expires.

You can leave and re-enter the Schengen area during the validity period of your visa, but you must make sure that you do not exceed the maximum number of days allowed during any 180-day period.

If you have a multiple-entry visa, each time you enter the Schengen area, the clock starts again on the maximum number of days you can stay.

Keep in mind that if you overstay your Schengen visa, you may face serious consequences, such as being fined, deported, or banned from entering the Schengen area in the future.

It’s important to keep track of your Schengen visa days and plan your travels accordingly to avoid any issues.

90 Days in 180 - Schengen / EU Calculator

European freedom of movement ended for British nationals on December 31, 2020. On that sad day, Britons lost their freedom to live, work, travel and retire in Europe. We lost those rights because the British Government, led by libertarian free-market fundamentalists, pursued the most destructive Brexit they could get away with. In doing so, our government not only stripped us of our rights and freedoms, they recklessly damaged the British farming and fishing industries, as well as many other businesses that exported goods and services to the EU.

Britons must now adhere to the rules that apply to all citizens and businesses of third-country status. This change means Brits can visit European countries in the Schengen area for a maximum of 90 days out of every 180 on a rolling basis.

This limitation applies when visiting any of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.

Please check GOV.UK for official advice on these countries and VISA entry requirements.

Travelling to the EU and Schengen area

You do not need a visa for short trips to the EU or countries in the Schengen area if both of the following apply:

• you’re staying for 90 days or less in a 180-day period
• you’re visiting as a tourist or for certain other reasons

Other reasons include:

• studying a short course
• getting medical treatment
• travelling for business for your UK employer, for example to attend a business meeting or conference
• journalism or other media activities

Check the entry requirements of the country you’re visiting to find out what you can and cannot do during your stay.

These rules do not apply to travelling and working in Ireland .

Travelling to countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in a 180-day period

You can travel to more than one country in a 180-day period. How long you can stay in each country depends on whether or not it’s in the Schengen area.

The countries in the Schengen area are:

Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Your total stay in the Schengen area must be no more than 90 days in every 180 days. It does not matter how many countries you visit. The 180-day period keeps ‘rolling’.

To work out if your stay is within the 90 day limit, use the following steps.

Check the date you plan to leave the Schengen area on your next trip.

Count back 180 days from that date to get the start of the 180-day period.

Add up the number of days you have already spent in the Schengen area in that 180-day period (you can use the dates stamped in your passport showing when you entered and left a country).

Work out how many days you will spend in the Schengen area on your next trip. Add this number to the number of days you worked out in step 3.

Check that the total number of days is not more than 90.

Travelling to EU countries that are not in the Schengen area

Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania are not in the Schengen area. You can stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period in each of these countries without a visa.

Any time you spend in the Schengen area does not affect the number of days you can spend in these countries.

When you may need a visa

​​You may need a visa or permit if you want to either:

• stay for more than 90 days

If you’re travelling for work, check the rules for the country you’re visiting .

If you’re travelling for another reason or staying longer than 90 days, check the entry requirements for the country you’re visiting .
