Why does the timeline show only 180 days?

The calculator records past Schengen stays in the current 180-day window through today. Future travel is checked separately in the next trip fields.

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.
