Calculation guide
How to use this Schengen days calculator
Use the timeline for past Schengen stays, then enter your next planned trip. The result shows used days, days left, max next stay, and the earliest safer re-entry date if the plan is risky.
How this calculator works
- Entry and exit days both count as Schengen stay days.
- The calculator checks every day of your planned next trip.
- For each stay day, it looks back 180 days and counts Schengen days.
- The total stay in any 180-day window must not exceed 90 days.
Example calculation
If you stayed from Jan 1 to Jan 10, that trip counts as 10 days. If you stayed again from Mar 1 to Mar 20, that second trip counts as 20 days. In a 180-day window containing both trips, your used days are 30 and you have 60 days left.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting that the exit day counts.
- Counting by calendar year instead of a rolling 180-day window.
- Assuming a new visa resets the 90/180 counter.
- Missing older Schengen trips that are still inside the 180-day window.

Schengen calculator FAQ
Common questions about the 90/180 rule
What is the Schengen 90/180 rule?
For each day you are in the Schengen area, count the Schengen stay days in the previous 180-day window. The total must not exceed 90 days.
Do entry and exit days count?
Yes. The entry day and the exit day both count as Schengen stay days.
Why does the timeline show only the past 180 days?
The timeline records past stays through today. Your next planned trip is checked separately in the next trip fields.
What does max next stay mean?
It is the longest stay the calculator estimates from your selected next entry date before the 90/180 limit would be exceeded.
Can this calculator guarantee entry?
No. VisaPacket is a planning calculator, not legal advice. Official rules and border officer decisions control your stay.
