Schengen 90/180 day calculator

Work out exactly how many days you can stay in the Schengen Area. Add each trip below — the calculator counts your days of presence in any rolling 180-day window, the same way EES now does at the border. Your dates stay in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

How counting works: both your entry day and your exit day count as days of presence. The 90 days are shared across all Schengen countries combined, inside a 180-day window that rolls forward every day.

The Schengen 90/180 rule — how it works under EES

  • You can spend up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day window across all Schengen countries combined — not per country.
  • The 180-day window is a rolling window counted backwards from any given day, not a calendar period. Every day you count the previous 180 days and subtract the days you spent inside Schengen.
  • EES now enforces this automatically: your entry and exit dates are recorded digitally, and any overstay is flagged on exit.
  • The "lost stamp" excuse is gone. Under passport stamping, officers often could not tell how many days you had used. EES returns a precise day count every time.
  • Your day count resets gradually as old entries roll out of the 180-day window. Use an online Schengen calculator to plan multi-trip itineraries, especially near the 85–89 day threshold.
EES changed the game. Before April 2026, border officers often couldn't tell how many days you'd used — the "lost stamp" loophole. EES records every entry and exit digitally and flags overstays automatically on exit. Plan precisely.

Calculator FAQ

What is EES?

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an EU-wide digital border system that replaces passport stamping for non-EU nationals entering the Schengen Area for short stays. It records each traveler’s name, passport data, date and place of entry and exit, and biometric data (four fingerprints plus a facial image) at a self-service kiosk or staffed booth on first entry.

How long does first-entry EES registration take?

Typically 3 to 7 minutes per traveler on first entry, depending on the airport, kiosk availability, and language selection. Families and groups should expect longer total times. Airports with pre-registration apps (Finland, Netherlands, some French terminals) can shorten this to under 2 minutes.

What about returning travelers?

Returning travelers who have already been enrolled typically spend 30 seconds to 1 minute at the border. Most Schengen airports now route returning EES travelers through dedicated facial-recognition gates, which are faster than the old manual stamping queues.

Will I still get a passport stamp?

Usually no. From 10 April 2026, passport stamping was discontinued as the default across the Schengen Area and entries are recorded digitally in EES. However, several countries — including Italy (until 30 September 2026), Belgium, Germany, France, Greece and Switzerland — have activated a formal "flex mode" that allows border police to revert to manual passport stamping whenever queues exceed set thresholds (e.g. 45 minutes in Italy, 25 minutes in Belgium). Stamps issued under flex mode are valid entry records.

What happens if the EES system is down?

Border officers fall back to manual processing, which may include hand-stamping passports as a temporary measure. Individual airports can request temporary suspension — Lisbon (LIS) suspended EES between 11 and 13 April 2026 due to queue overflow, for example. Outages do not excuse overstays: your declared entry date still counts.

What data is stored, and for how long?

EES stores your name, date of birth, nationality, passport number, four fingerprints, a facial image, and the date and place of each entry and exit. Records are retained for 3 years after your last exit for visa-exempt travelers, and up to 5 years for visa holders. Overstay records are retained for 5 years regardless.
