1. What is the Schengen 90/180 Rule?

The Schengen 90/180 rule states that non-EU citizens can stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This calculator helps track your remaining available days.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Schengen 90/180 rule formula:

Where:

• 90 — Maximum allowed days in Schengen area
• 180 — Rolling period (days) to calculate from
• Days spent — Sum of all days in Schengen area in last 180 days

Explanation: The calculator looks back 180 days from your specified calculation date and sums all days you've spent in the Schengen area during that period.

3. Importance of Tracking Schengen Days

Details: Accurate tracking is crucial to avoid overstaying, which can result in fines, deportation, or future travel bans to the Schengen area.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all your entry and exit dates to/from the Schengen area (one per line). The calculator will show your remaining available days and a summary of recent trips.
