UCAS points calculator
UCAS Tariff points for your grades, added up
Pick each qualification and grade. The example is A levels at A, B and B with a B in the EPQ.

Universities decide how they use Tariff points, and many make offers in grades instead. Check each course's entry requirements.
How Tariff points add up
UCAS gives each grade of each qualification a number of Tariff points. Your total is those points added together. An A level at A is 48 points and at B is 40, and an Extended Project at B is 20, so A, B, B plus a B in the EPQ is 48 + 40 + 40 + 20 = 148 points. The working line shows the same sum for your grades.
Where the points come from
The points are copied from UCAS's own Tariff tables, the spreadsheets UCAS publishes for the 2026 and 2027 entry cycles. The values used here are the same in both. The full list is in the table below the tool so you can check every one.
Other qualifications
BTECs, T Levels, the International Baccalaureate, Irish Leaving Certificate and many more also carry Tariff points, but their values depend on the exact qualification and size. Choose Other and type the points from UCAS's Tariff calculator or tables.
What the total is for
Some universities and colleges ask for a number of Tariff points, such as 120. Many make offers in grades instead, or ask for particular subjects. A level points count once: an AS in a subject you also took at A level is not added on top. Check each course page or ask the university.
