The revised 2026 CPE Standards became effective August 1, 2026, while actual CPA requirements remain jurisdiction-specific.
Calculate your remaining requirement
Use your issuer portal as the source for the completed amount and cycle dates, then use this calculator to turn the current requirement into a personal gap.
Standards and license rules are different layers
The joint NASBA/AICPA Standards provide a framework for CPE programs. Your board of accountancy controls your actual license CPE total, ethics, reporting period, carryover, and filing rules.
2026 transition dates matter
NASBA states that different program situations move to the revised Standards on different dates, including August 1, 2026, March 1, 2027, and November 1, 2028 unless a licensing body establishes otherwise.
Use your state board before filing
Treat any generic CPA CPE calculator as a personal arithmetic tool. Enter the requirement from your jurisdiction instead of assuming a national total.
