Schengen 90/180 and tax days
Know your Schengen days before the border does
Since the EU's Entry/Exit System began, the border counts your days from biometric records. DayCount EU keeps your own count on your phone, shows exactly how each number is reached, and keeps proof of your exits. Nothing leaves your device.
The iPhone and Android apps are launching soon. The free calculators on this site work today.
Screenshots show sample trips, not real travel data.
Correct, and explainable
Every number comes with a "why": the trips and dates that make it up. The method follows the European Commission's guidance and is tested against its own worked examples.
Plans around your bookings
Test a trip against everything you have already committed, and see the longest stay from any entry date, so one trip never puts the next at risk.
Private by design
Trips, documents and notes are stored encrypted on your phone. No account is needed, and there is no server holding your travel history.
Free tools, in your browser
The same calculation engine as the app. Your dates stay in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Who it is for
Digital nomads and remote workers
Moving between countries makes two clocks matter at once: how long you can stay in Schengen, and where your days add up for tax.
Snowbird retirees in Spain and Portugal
Spending winters in Spain or Portugal means counting carefully, because the Schengen rule and the tax rules are different.
UK second-home owners in the EU
Since Brexit, British owners of second homes in the EU are short-stay visitors like other non-EU travellers.
Mixed-nationality couples
When one partner has an EU passport and the other does not, the rules differ by trip, and many people assume they are always exempt.
US, Canadian and Australian travellers
Visa-free travellers from the US, Canada and Australia use the 90/180 rule on every trip to the Schengen area.
From the guides
EES and the 90/180 rule: what changed in April 2026 and what didn't
The EU Entry/Exit System now counts your Schengen days from biometrics. Here is what is different for travellers, and what the 90/180 rule still says.
How the rolling 180-day window really works, with worked examples
The 90/180 rule looks back 180 days from every day of your stay. Worked examples from the European Commission show how days are counted and regained.
EES didn't record my exit? How to prove you left and ask for a fix
If the Entry/Exit System has no exit record for you, it can look like you are still in the Schengen area. What proof to keep and how to ask for a correction.
Do entry and exit days count? Schengen day-counting edge cases
Entry and exit days both count as full days. How same-day trips, midnight crossings, transit, leap years and several countries in one day are handled.
