Track remaining Professional Development Credits against SHRM’s current 60-PDC three-year recertification requirement. 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.

Calculation used

remaining = 60 − completed

What this calculator uses

The inputs on this page are PDCs completed. The calculator subtracts your completed credits from a fixed 60-credit planning target and clamps the result at zero. Meeting that number does not replace category or reporting checks.

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

SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP recertification use a three-year cycle and a 60-PDC route, but the portal record, activity eligibility, submission, fee, and grace-period timing still matter.

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.
