How It Works
UCAS tariff points provide a standard way to compare qualifications from different awarding bodies. An A-level A* is worth 56 points, an A is 48, a B is 40, a C is 32, a D is 24 and an E is 16. BTEC qualifications, Scottish Highers, the International Baccalaureate and other approved qualifications each have their own tariff values.
Not all universities use UCAS points for admissions — many (including Russell Group institutions) make offers in terms of specific grades rather than points. However, some universities set entry requirements as a tariff total (for example, 112 UCAS points), giving applicants flexibility in how they achieve the target.
Enter your qualifications and grades. The calculator converts each to UCAS tariff points and shows your total. It also lists common entry requirements and whether your total meets them. Remember that some courses require specific subjects regardless of overall points.
Example: A-level grades A*, B, B
- A* = 56 points
- B = 40 points
- B = 40 points
- Total UCAS tariff points: 136
- Meets typical requirements: 112 points (yes), 128 points (yes), 144 points (no)
