Schengen 90/180 Tracker
How many Schengen days have you used, and how many are left? A rolling 180-day counter built from the European Commission's own rule, plus which countries actually count.
If you hold an EU residence permit or a long-stay (D-type) visa, the 90/180 rule does not apply to you at all — those documents allow longer stays. This counter is for short-stay visitors only.
Where the days count
29 countries count toward the 90. Everything else — including Ireland and Cyprus, which are EU members but sit outside the Schengen area — consumes none of your allowance.

Does not count
- ireland
An EU member that is NOT in Schengen. Irish Common Travel Area rules with the UK apply instead — no 90/180 counting.
- cyprus
An EU member that is NOT in the Schengen area, so Cypriot days do not count toward the 90. The Commission states that Cyprus “participates in the Schengen cooperation” but that internal border controls “have not yet been abolished”, and that integration “is currently underway”.
- Any non-Schengen country
Morocco, Thailand, Japan, the UK, Ireland — time spent there does not touch the allowance, which is why two short trips can beat one long one.
Most recent addition: romania (2024).

Read this before you rely on it
The European Commission publishes its own short-stay calculator, and that is the authoritative one for a border decision. This page implements the same published rule so you can see your position at home; it is not a right to stay, and the Commission's own tool says the same about itself. Figures current as of 30 September 2026.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Schengen 90/180 allowance a rolling window or a fixed calendar period?
- A rolling window. The European Commission states you must "count back 180 days from each day of your stay and ensure the total number does not exceed 90." That is why a fixed calendar reading is wrong: days from March can still be counting against you in November, and days from January drop off in July.
- Which countries count toward the 90 days?
- 29 countries: the Schengen member states plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Days in Ireland and Cyprus — both EU members, neither in the Schengen area — do not count toward it, and days in any non-Schengen country obviously do not.
- Do transit days through a Schengen airport count?
- We could not establish this from an official EU source, so we are not going to guess. The Schengen Borders Code and the Visa Code define an airport transit visa as transit “through the international transit areas of airports” and note that checks are normally not carried out there, but neither is a rule about how the 90 days are counted. This tool counts only stays you enter, which is the conservative reading. Add a day only if you actually left the airport.
- Is there a grace period beyond the 90th day?
- No. The Schengen Borders Code says a third-country national who does not meet the entry conditions “shall be refused entry” and that refusal “shall take effect immediately”. We found no 10-day tolerance in any first-party source, so none is shown here.
- Is this an official tool?
- No. The European Commission publishes its own short-stay calculator, and it is the authoritative one for a border decision. This tool implements the same rule so you can see your position before you travel. A calculation here is not a right to stay.
