Both ends of the trip count
The day you enter and the day you leave each count as a full day, whatever the time. Short weekend hops add up faster than most people expect.

Add your trips
UK and other visa-exempt passport holders get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across the whole Schengen area - not per country. Add your trips to see where you stand and plan the next one.
Your Schengen trips
Add every day you were inside the Schengen area in roughly the last 6 months - entry and exit days both count as full days.

How the 90/180 rule actually works
One allowance for the whole area
The 90 days are shared across every Schengen country. Splitting time between France, Spain, and Italy draws from the same single allowance.
The window rolls, it never resets
There is no anniversary or reset date. Every day, the calculation looks back over the last 180 days - days age out of the window one at a time.
Borders now count for you
The EES entry/exit system records every crossing electronically, so overstays are detected automatically. ETIAS authorisation is not yet required - expected to start from Autumn 2026, though the date has moved before.
Frequently asked questions
Do entry and exit days count towards the 90 days?
Yes. The day you enter the Schengen area and the day you leave both count as full days of stay, even if you arrive at 11pm or leave at 6am. A trip from Friday evening to Sunday morning uses 3 days.
Does the 90-day allowance reset after 180 days?
No - there is no reset date. The rule is a rolling window: on any given day, your total days of presence during that day and the previous 179 days must not exceed 90. Days only stop counting against you as they age out of the window, one day at a time.
What happens if I overstay in the Schengen area?
Overstaying can mean fines, deportation, and entry bans recorded across all Schengen states. Since the EES entry/exit system went live, every border crossing is registered electronically, so overstays are detected automatically rather than relying on passport stamps. ETIAS travel authorisation is not yet required - gov.uk says operations are expected to start from Autumn 2026, though the timeline has slipped before.
