There is no re-start it is a continuous rolling 180 days. Use the calculator as suggested as it makes things so much easier because it tells you at any stage how many days you have left. Take today, as an example, count back 180 days and then count how many days you have spent within that time in the Schengen zone. Simply put, you cannot spend more than 90 days in ANY 180 day period in the zone.

Yes it's too difficult keeping track without the calculator doing it for you as each day is counting back a different 180 days. It would drive you mad trying to keep track of it with an ordinary calendar.

there is no 90 day cycle, it is a rolling 180 days recalculated every day.

Get the Schengen app, it works it all out for you , it’s rolling all the time , hard to explain / 90 days allowed in 180 & those days are always rolling 😀
