In short
You can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area. The 180 days roll: on any day, look back 180 days and count each day you were inside. The day you arrive and the day you leave both count. All 29 states count together.
How are Schengen days counted?
Pick a day. Look back over the 180 days that end on it. Add up every day you spent in any Schengen state. If the total, with your planned days, stays at 90 or under, you are within the rule.
Say you spent 10 to 19 March in Italy (10 days). Then you spent 1 to 20 June in France (20 days). On 1 July, both trips fall inside the last 180 days. You have used 30 days, so 60 are left.

Does my visa change the 90 days?
Your visa has its own limits too. The sticker shows the dates you can use it and the number of days it allows. You must keep to both the sticker and the 90/180 rule.

What does the Entry/Exit System change?
Since 10 April 2026, the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) records your entry and exit at the border. It replaces passport stamps with a digital record of your days. Visa holders give a face photo at the border.

Questions people ask
Do the days reset every 180 days?
No. The window rolls day by day. Each new day, the oldest day drops out of the 180-day count.
Do the day I arrive and the day I leave both count?
Yes. Any part of a day in the Schengen area counts as a full day.
Is this the official calculator?
No. The European Commission has its own short-stay calculator. Use it to double-check before you travel.
Are my dates sent anywhere?
No. The calculator works in your browser. Your dates are not sent to us.
