Reviewed 19 August 2026No account required

See how far your total exceeds the entered requirement before checking whether any surplus is actually carryover-eligible. The useful output is not just the number: it is the number together with the assumptions and eligibility checks that can change what you should do next.

No account required.

What this calculator uses

The inputs on this page are Requirement, Completed eligible credits. The calculator shows numeric surplus above the entered requirement; surplus is not automatically valid carryover.

How to read the result

Use the result as a gap or timing check, then open the cited authority before buying a course, reporting credits, paying a fee, or submitting a renewal.

What the number does not prove

Credit labels are not universally interchangeable. Check the receiving credential’s definition, eligible activities, rounding rules, and reporting process before counting the result.

Best next step

Use the result as a gap or timing check, then open the cited authority before buying a course, reporting credits, paying a fee, or submitting a renewal.

Verify the governing ruleThis page explains a planning method, not a universal licensing rule. If your credential has a mandatory total, category, provider, or reporting rule, use the issuing authority as the final source.
Important: This is a planning aid. Universities, scholarship providers, immigration authorities, recognition bodies and professional regulators control their own decisions and changing requirements.
