Schengen 90/180 calculator
Enter your trips to the Schengen area and pick a date. Raven counts the days in the 180-day window ending on that date (inclusive), tells you how many of your 90 days are left, when the next one frees up, and how long a planned stay can last.

How the rule works
Third-country nationals who do not need a visa (and holders of short-stay visas) may spend at most 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area as a whole. The check is made for every day of a stay: on each day, look back over the 180 days ending on that day and count the days you were present. If that count exceeds 90, you are overstaying.
- Entry and exit days count as full days, whatever time you crossed.
- Days in any Schengen state count towards the same total; moving between states does not reset anything.
- Days under a national long-stay visa or residence permit are not counted for the issuing country.
- The window rolls: a day stops counting 180 days after it happened. "Next free day" in the results is the first date on which at least one day is available again if you leave now.
Worked example
Anna is British and checks her position on 25 September 2026. Her window runs from 30 March to 25 September 2026. She has made three trips: Lisbon 2–20 April (19 days), a summer stay in France and Italy 10 June–24 July (45 days) and Berlin 28 August–8 September (12 days).
Days used: 76. Days remaining: 14. All three trips fall inside the window. If she enters again on 1 October, the planner shows she can stay up to 33 days, until 2 November: her April days start dropping out of the window from 29 September, freeing one day at a time as she uses them.

Frequently asked questions
How is the 180-day window counted?
The window is the 180 days ending on the day you check, counted backwards and including that day. For 25 September 2026 the window runs from 30 March to 25 September 2026. On each day of your stay you must have been in the Schengen area for no more than 90 of the previous 180 days. This matches the European Commission's short-stay calculator.
Do entry and exit days count?
Yes. Any day on which you were in the Schengen area for any length of time counts as a full day, including the day you arrive and the day you leave. A trip from 1 to 10 January is 10 days.
Which countries are in the Schengen area in 2026?
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland (29). Bulgaria and Romania joined fully on 1 January 2025; Croatia on 1 January 2023. Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City have open borders with Schengen and days there count. Ireland and Cyprus are EU members outside Schengen.
Does the 90 days reset when I leave?
No. It is a rolling window, not a quota that resets. A day you spent in Schengen stops counting exactly 180 days later. If you have used all 90 days you have to wait until enough early days fall out of the window; the calculator shows the next date with a free day.
What changed with the Entry/Exit System (EES)?
Since April 2026 border authorities record your entries and exits electronically instead of stamping passports. Overstays are detected automatically, so counting your own days matters more, not less, and you no longer have stamps to reconstruct the history from.
Does this apply to me?
The 90/180 rule applies to visa-exempt visitors (for example from the UK, US, Canada, Australia) and to holders of short-stay visas. It does not apply to EU/EEA/Swiss citizens or to people holding a national long-stay visa or residence permit, whose days in that country are not counted; check the rules of the issuing country.
