0 stays

No stays added yet

Start with your most recent Schengen entry and exit dates. Add as many past stays as needed for an accurate rolling-window check.

Rule essentials

Understand the rule in minutes

It is not a calendar-year rule

You do not get a fresh 90-day allowance every January. Each day is measured against the 180 days immediately before it.

Same-day travel still counts

If you enter and leave on the same day, that still counts as one Schengen day.

Past trips stay relevant

A stay from March can still affect July travel if those March days remain inside the active window.

The app is better for repeat use

The website is for quick checks and explainers. The app is for saved tracking, repeated planning, and ongoing travel management.

FAQ

Schengen rule questions people ask first

What does SchengenRules.com help with?

It helps you calculate Schengen days, understand the 90/180 rule in plain English, and follow practical EES and ETIAS guidance without wading through generic blog content.

Does the web calculator save my trips?

No. The website calculator is designed for quick local checks in your browser. Saved trips and repeat tracking belong in the iPhone app.

Do entry and exit days count in Schengen?

Yes. For standard short stays, both the day you enter and the day you leave count as Schengen days.

What does 90 days in any 180-day period mean?

It means each day of stay is checked against the 180 days immediately before it. Old trips can still affect whether a new trip fits.

Is this website official?

No. SchengenRules.com is a practical travel resource designed to explain official rules more clearly, but it is not an EU or government website.

When should I use the app instead of the website?

Use the website for quick answers and free one-off checks. Use the app when you need saved trips, repeated calculations, future planning, or safer re-entry timing.
