The Schengen 90/180 rule,
finally made simple.

TRACK

Know your Schengen allowance at a glance

The 90/180-day rule is based on a rolling window, so your allowance changes as older trips drop out of the calculation. Schengen Calculator keeps the important numbers clear: days used, days remaining, and whether your travel still fits within the limit.

PLAN

Check future trips before you book

Before you book flights or extend a stay, add your planned dates and see how they affect your allowance. It’s a simple way to spot problems early, especially when you’re planning multiple trips close together.

CALENDAR

See which dates are safe to travel

A date can look fine in isolation but still fail because of trips taken months earlier. The calendar helps you see how past and future stays interact, making the rolling 180-day window easier to understand.

ALERTS

Catch overstay risks before they become a problem

Schengen overstays can happen by accident, especially when trips overlap across several months. The app highlights potential issues clearly, so you can adjust your plans before they become expensive or stressful.

PROFILES

Plan Schengen trips for more than one person

When you’re travelling with a partner, family, or friends, everyone’s allowance needs to be checked separately. Schengen Calculator lets you create separate traveller profiles, so each person has their own trips, travel history, and remaining days without mixing everything together.

GLANCE

Check your days without opening the app

Keep your remaining allowance visible on your Home Screen or Apple Watch, so you don’t have to keep reopening the app or rechecking dates manually while planning or travelling.

REPORT

Keep a clear record of your Schengen travel

Export a PDF summary of your trips, allowance, and current status. It’s useful for your own records, travel planning, or keeping a clear overview of the dates you’ve entered into the app.

And more

Check if ETIAS may apply to your trip

ETIAS is separate from the 90/180-day rule, but many travellers will need to understand both. The built-in checker gives a simple indication based on your passport, destination, and stay length, without sending you through a maze of official pages.

Keep your trips available across devices

Your travel history is stored in your iCloud, so your plans stay available across supported Apple devices. Schengen Calculator does not collect your data, giving you a private way to manage sensitive travel records.

Understand the rule without the jargon

The app includes plain-English guidance for the parts people often get wrong: rolling 180-day windows, what counts as a Schengen day, planned versus past trips, and why your allowance can change over time.

Frequently asked questions

How does Schengen Calculator work out my remaining days?

Schengen Calculator 90/180 uses the same rolling 90/180-day calculation that border officers and the European Commission’s official tool use. You add each trip with its entry and exit dates, and the app counts every day spent in the Schengen Area within the moving 180-day window, including arrival and departure days.

Because the window shifts forward one day at a time, the app updates your remaining allowance automatically. You can enter a future trip to see its impact before you book, set alerts as you approach the limit, and view your travel history on a calendar to spot patterns and gaps at a glance.


Where is my trip data stored, and is it private?

Your trip data is stored securely and privately in your own iCloud account. Schengen Calculator does not run a server-side database of your travel history, and your trips are never shared with third parties.

This means your data syncs across your own Apple devices via iCloud and is protected by Apple’s built-in security. You stay in control: if you delete a trip in the app, or delete the app altogether, your data goes with it.


What is the Schengen 90/180-day rule?

The Schengen 90/180-day rule lets most non-EU visitors stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. The 90 days are shared across all 29 Schengen countries combined, not 90 per country.


Which countries does the 90/180 rule apply to?

The rule applies across all 29 Schengen countries, which share a single 90-day allowance as one travel zone. Time spent in any one Schengen country counts toward your total in every other.


How is the 180-day rolling window calculated?

The 180-day window is calculated backwards from any given date: look at the previous 180 days, count every day you spent in the Schengen Area, and that total cannot exceed 90. Because the window moves forward one day at a time, a trip you took five months ago can still affect how many days you have today.


Do my arrival and departure days both count toward the 90 days?

Yes. Both your day of arrival in the Schengen Area and your day of departure count as full days, even if you only spend a few hours of each inside the zone. A trip from 1 May to 10 May counts as 10 days, not 9.


Can I reset my Schengen days by leaving for a few days?

No. Leaving the Schengen Area doesn’t reset your 90-day allowance. The 180-day window is rolling, so your days only return as older trips drop out of it, which usually takes months rather than days. This is the most common misconception about the rule, and the one most likely to lead to an accidental overstay.


What happens if I overstay my 90 days in the Schengen Area?

Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, entry bans of up to several years, and a permanent record affecting future visa applications. Since the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) went fully live in April 2026, overstays are flagged automatically at the border, making accidental overstays much easier to detect.


How does the 90/180 rule apply to UK travellers after Brexit?

Since Brexit took effect on 1 January 2021, UK passport holders are subject to the 90/180-day rule when visiting Schengen countries, the same as other non-EU travellers. Time spent in Ireland doesn’t count toward your 90 days, because Ireland is in the EU but not in Schengen.


What is the EU Entry/Exit System (EES)?

EES is the digital border system that replaces manual passport stamps. It records every entry and exit to the Schengen Area using biometrics (a facial photo and fingerprints captured on your first crossing), and has been fully operational across all 29 Schengen countries since 10 April 2026.


What is ETIAS, and when do I need one?

ETIAS, the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, is a pre-travel authorisation that visa-exempt non-EU citizens will need before entering the Schengen Area. It works much like the US ESTA or the UK ETA: you apply online before your trip, pay €20 (free for under-18s and over-70s), and receive an authorisation linked to your passport.

ETIAS is expected to launch in late 2026, with no firm date confirmed by the European Commission. You cannot apply yet. Once live, an ETIAS will be valid for three years or until your passport expires, and will allow multiple short stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. ETIAS is not a visa and does not change the 90/180 rule. It sits on top of it.
