Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

The Australian PR Points Calculator 2017 helps accounting professionals determine their eligibility for permanent residency under the General Skilled Migration program. This calculator provides a quick estimate of points based on your qualifications, work experience, and other factors.

How the Australian PR Points Calculator Works

The Australian government uses a points-based system to assess skilled migration applicants. For the 2017 round, accounting professionals can earn points in several categories:

  • Age
  • English language proficiency
  • Education
  • Work experience
  • Australian Study Requirement
  • Partner skills
  • State nomination

The calculator combines these factors to provide a total points score. The minimum points required for a visa grant varies by year and occupation.

Accounting Points Calculation

Accounting professionals can earn points in several categories:

Points Formula

Total Points = Age Points + English Points + Education Points + Work Experience Points + Other Factors

For accounting, the work experience points are particularly important. The table below shows the points awarded for different levels of experience:

Years of Experience Points
0-2 years 0 points
3-4 years 5 points
5-7 years 10 points
8-10 years 15 points
10+ years 20 points

Education points vary based on the level of qualification. A bachelor's degree typically awards 20 points, while a master's degree awards 30 points.

Example Calculation

Consider an accounting professional with the following details:

  • Age: 35 years (15 points)
  • English: IELTS 7.5 (10 points)
  • Education: Master's degree (30 points)
  • Work experience: 8 years (15 points)
  • Other factors: 10 points

Using the calculator, the total points would be: 15 + 10 + 30 + 15 + 10 = 80 points.

Note: The actual points required for a visa grant may vary based on the specific round and occupation.
