American in Schengen - multiple visits over the year [duplicate]

One calculation question… I’m an American on a Schengen 90/180 day tourist visa. I was in Oslo, Norway from Jan 9 - March 19. My plan is to go back from… May 15 - May 27, 2019. Then again July 1st - Sept 1, 2019. Then again Dec 1, 2019 - Feb 28, 2020.

Is that all legal and ok Schengen visa-wise? I don’t go over the 90 days in 180 day sliding ruler do I?

Thank you so much!

As you can see from the Schengen calculator, you will not exceed the 90/180 limitation with this plan, but your last stay is exactly 90 days, so you may want to give yourself a buffer in case of flight delays or other unforseen circumstances. You don't need to reschedule your flights to do that. Instead, you can spend one or more entire days in a non-Schengen country.
