UCAS Points Calculator 2026

AS-level points sit at roughly 40% of the equivalent A-level grade, UCAS's own published rule. If you hold both an AS and an A-level in the same subject, universities count only the A-level points, the AS points are not added on top.

How UCAS points are used

  • Tariff-based offers: some universities and courses make offers in UCAS points rather than named grades, giving you flexibility in which subjects you do well in.
  • Most offers are grade-based, not points-based:a course asking for “AAB” is checking specific grades, not a points total. Always check the exact wording of an offer on the course page.
  • Extra qualifications count too: the EPQ and other UCAS-recognised qualifications carry their own Tariff points and can be added to a totals-based offer.
  • Points don't replace subject requirements:a high points total does not override a course's specific subject requirements (e.g. Maths A-level for Engineering).

Aiming higher before results day

If your predicted grades are short of your target offer, a subject specialist can identify the exact weak topics and build a focused revision plan for the final term. TutorLab tutors set their own rates and you contact them directly, no agency fees.

Frequently asked questions

What are UCAS Tariff points?

UCAS Tariff points are a numerical system used to compare different post-16 qualifications on a common scale. An A-level grade A* is worth 56 points, down to grade E at 16 points. Some universities use points to make flexible offers instead of naming specific grades.

How many UCAS points do I need for university?

It depends entirely on the course and university. Competitive Russell Group courses often expect the equivalent of AAB or higher (around 144+ points), while many post-92 universities accept BBC or lower (around 112 points and up). Always check the exact offer on the specific course page, as most offers are grade-based rather than points-based.

Do AS-levels still count towards UCAS points?

Yes, if you have a standalone AS-level (not continued to A-level in that subject), it carries its own Tariff points at roughly 40% of the equivalent A-level grade. If you go on to take the full A-level in the same subject, only the A-level points count, the AS points are not added separately.

Are BTEC and T-level points included in this calculator?

Not currently. BTEC and T-level Tariff points depend on the specific qualification size (e.g. Extended Diploma vs Diploma) and the mapping is more detailed than a single conversion table. This calculator is scoped to A-level and AS-level only so the numbers stay accurate; check ucas.com directly for BTEC and T-level equivalencies.

Can a tutor help me hit my UCAS points target?

Yes. If your predicted grades are below your offer, a subject tutor can focus revision on your weakest topics in the months before results. This is most effective when started with enough runway before exams, ideally at least one full term.
