Schengen 90/180 Rule Calculator

The Schengen 90/180 Rule Explained With Real Examples

The Schengen 90/180 Rule Calculator helps you determine how many days you have left to legally stay within the Schengen Area based on your entry and exit dates.

How It Works

1. Enter your travel dates (Entry and Exit) for all recent trips to the Schengen Area.
2. The calculator counts the total days spent in the zone over the last 180-day window.
3. It subtracts the used days from your 90-day allowance to tell you exactly how many days remain.

Formula & Calculation Logic

$\text{Remaining Days} = 90 - \text{Total Days Spent in Schengen within the last 180 days}$ The 180-day window is a rolling or "moving" window, which means it looks backwards from today (or the intended date of entry/exit).

Worked Example

If you enter on January 1 and leave on January 30, you used 30 days. If you return on May 1, the 180-day window looks back to November of the previous year. Total used = 30. Remaining = 60 days.

Result Interpretation

• Positive Number: You have legal days remaining.
• Zero or Negative: You have overstayed or will overstay, which can result in fines, deportation, or a ban.
