Self assessment

This page includes our points-based calculator which is an interactive self-assessment tool that allows you to calculate how many points you may be awarded under the government authorised exchange category (Tier 5 Temporary Workers) of the points-based system to work in the United Kingdom.

It should take no more than ten minutes to complete. Read eligibility first to make sure you meet the requirements to apply.

To use the tool, you will need the following information:
