What counts toward your 90 days

Every day spent in Bulgaria counts toward the same Schengen-wide 90-day allowance. Days in Bulgaria are added to days in any of the other 28 Schengen countries when calculating the rolling 180-day window.

Entry and exit days both count as full days.

If you hold a Bulgaria national long-stay visa or residence permit, the 90/180 rule does not limit your stay in Bulgaria itself — but does still cap your time in the rest of Schengen.
