The 90/180 rule is not a per-visit allowance and it does not reset on 1 January. On any given day you may have spent no more than 90 days in the Schengen area during the previous 180 days — a window that rolls forward with you. Enter your trips below to see where you stand today and when a planned trip would tip you over.
Keep counting. Move these trips into the tracker — all three rules, planned trips, no sign-up.
A weekend in Paris arriving Friday and leaving Sunday is three days, not one. This single detail is the most common miscount.
Every day you are inside the area, look back 180 days: the days you were present in that stretch must total 90 or fewer.
This is why the allowance appears to 'refill' gradually rather than resetting on a fixed date.
Ireland is in the EU but not Schengen. Norway, Iceland and Switzerland are in Schengen but not the EU.
No. There is no annual reset. The limit is assessed against a rolling 180-day window ending on whichever day is being checked, so days drop out one at a time as they age past 180 days.
Yes. The European Commission's rule counts the day of entry and the day of exit as full days of presence, regardless of the time of day you cross the border.
No. Ireland is not part of the Schengen area. Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are, despite not being EU members.
Consequences range from a fine to an entry ban recorded against you, and border systems now calculate your history automatically. Check before you travel rather than at the border.
Yes. Time spent in the country that issued your national long-stay visa or residence permit is generally not counted against the 90/180 short-stay allowance. This calculator counts all Schengen days, so treat it as a short-stay tool.
