This calculator adds up your points from A-levels, the International Baccalaureate, BTEC Nationals, Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers, the Extended Project (EPQ), Cambridge Pre-U and Core Maths, using the official UCAS point values that have applied since the 2017 admissions cycle. It is useful when an offer is stated in points (for example “120 UCAS points”) and you want to know whether your grades meet it, or when you are weighing up which combination of qualifications gets you over a threshold. ## How to read your result The headline number is your total UCAS Tariff points across every qualification you add. Beneath it, the breakdown shows how many points each subject contributes, so you can see which grades are doing the heavy lifting. Remember that points are only half the story: most universities still phrase their actual entry requirements in grades (such as “AAB at A-level”), and some courses ignore the Tariff entirely or only count specific subjects. Use the total as a quick comparison and a sanity check, not as a guarantee of meeting an offer. ## Method Each qualification has an official UCAS Tariff table that maps a grade to a fixed number of points — for example an A-level is worth 56 points at A*, 48 at A, 40 at B, 32 at C, 24 at D and 16 at E, while an AS-level is worth roughly 40% of that (20 at A down to 6 at E). The International Baccalaureate is scored per component rather than as a whole diploma: each Higher Level subject is worth 56 points at grade 7 down to 0 at grade 2, each Standard Level subject 28 down to 0, and the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge are each worth 12 points at A down to 4 at E. BTEC Nationals are tariffed by size and grade combination (a triple Extended Diploma runs from 168 points at D*D*D* down to 48 at PPP). The total is simply the sum of the points for every qualification you list; the calculator never invents a value, so a grade that earns 0 points (an IB subject grade of 1 or 2) adds nothing. These values are the official UCAS Tariff and have not changed since 2017. ## Example - **Setup:** You are predicted A, A and B at A-level. Add three A-level rows and set the grades to A, A and B. - **Result:** The calculator shows 136 UCAS Tariff points (48 + 48 + 40). A typical “128 points” offer would be met; a “144 points” (AAA) offer would not, so you can see exactly how far short you are. ## Frequently asked questions ### Are these the official UCAS Tariff points? Yes. The values come from the official UCAS Tariff tables introduced for the 2017 admissions cycle, which are still in force for 2026 entry. UCAS has not changed them since 2017. ### Does a higher points total guarantee I will get in? No. Universities set their own entry requirements and usually state them in grades, not points. Some courses require specific subjects, some cap how many qualifications count, and many do not use the Tariff at all. Treat the total as a comparison tool, not an offer. ### How is the IB scored for UCAS points? Under the current (post-2017) Tariff, UCAS does not give the IB Diploma a single total. Instead it awards points to each component separately: every Higher Level and Standard Level subject, plus the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge, each earn their own points, which you add together. CAS earns no Tariff points. ### Should I add both an AS-level and a full A-level in the same subject? Generally not. If you sat an AS-level and then completed the full A-level in the same subject, most universities count only the A-level. The calculator will still add both and warns you, so you can remove the AS-level if it overlaps. ### Why does my IB grade 2 add zero points? The official UCAS Tariff awards 0 points for an IB subject grade of 1 or 2 at both Higher and Standard Level. That is the published value, not a rounding error. ## Related calculators - [Calculadora A-Level a GPA (EE.
