Score your profile against the real points system. Before you pay anyone.
Three calculators in one place — UK Skilled Worker, German Opportunity Card and EU Blue Card across seven destinations. Inputs update the score live, blockers tell you what is in the way.
- STEP 01
Pick your destination
Tap a tab below — UK Skilled Worker (PBS), Germany Opportunity Card, or EU Blue Card across seven countries. Each works on a different scoring model, so the right tab matters.
- STEP 02
Fill in your real profile
Be honest with salary, qualification, language, age. Generous inputs produce a generous score and a real refusal later. Use your CV and English certificate as references.
- STEP 03
Read the running score
The score updates instantly as you type. The right panel shows your total versus the threshold, a progress bar, and a list of what is in the way if you fall short.
- STEP 04
Use the blockers as a checklist
If your score is short, the blocker list tells you the cheapest fix — a higher salary offer, a German language level, or the shortage occupation list. Book a call when you're ready.
