UK Skilled Worker Visa Calculator
The UK Skilled Worker visa needs 70 points. Most come from three things you must have: a job offer from an approved sponsor, a job that is skilled enough, and English at B2. The last 20 come from your salary.
Answer a few questions to see your points and the salary your job needs.
How the 70 points are made
| What you need | Points |
|---|---|
| A job offer from an approved sponsor, with a certificate of sponsorship | 20 |
| An eligible job | 20 |
| English at B2 level | 10 |
| A salary that meets the requirement | 20 |
How the salary requirement works
The salary you need is the higher of a lowest salary and the going rate for your job’s occupation code. The going rate is in the GOV.UK going rates table, so you enter it into the calculator. Lower amounts apply to jobs on the Immigration Salary List, to people under 26, students and recent graduates, and to people with a PhD relevant to the job.
Questions people ask us most
Does this cover nurses, care workers and teachers?
No. Health, care and education jobs are paid on national pay scales and follow other salary rules. A specialist needs to check those.
Where do I find the going rate?
In the going rates table on GOV.UK, under your job’s four-digit occupation code.
Is it free?
Yes. You see your points without giving contact details.
