Frequently asked questions
Are these UK immigration tools really free?
Yes — every tool on Pass the UK Test is completely free, with no sign-up, no login and no paywall. Every tool stays free. We do not collect your personal data; all calculations run in your browser.
Are the ILR and citizenship calculators up to date for 2026?
Yes. The calculators reflect the fees and rules in force for 2026, including the £3,226 ILR fee from 8 April 2026 and the announced Earned Settlement changes. Immigration rules change often, so always confirm against GOV.UK before you apply.
Which tools do I need before applying for ILR?
Most applicants should use the ILR eligibility calculator to confirm their qualifying date, the 180-day absence calculator to check their travel history, the document checklist to prepare their evidence, and the refusal risk checker before submitting. If English or the Life in the UK test is required, use the B1 check and exemption checker too.
