ATAR Calculator is an essential tool for students across Australia, helping you estimate your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank quickly and accurately. Alongside this, the Study Score Calculator enables you to calculate your individual subject scores, allowing you to understand how they contribute to your ATAR. Whether you’re aiming for the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney, the Australian National University, or the University of Queensland, this tool makes planning your academic future easier.
Estimate your ATAR with advanced scaling (CAT 1/2/3), state-specific factors, university course checker & eligibility checker. 2025/26 data applied. Works for all states & universities.
How Scaling Works: Raw HSC marks are adjusted (scaled) to compare performance across subjects fairly. UAC uses statistical alignment based on cohort performance. Subjects are categorized for scaling impact:
Detailed CAT Scaling Examples (NSW 2025):
| Category | Example Subjects | Raw 80 → Scaled (Approx) | Raw 90 → Scaled (Approx) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAT 1 | Maths Ext 2, Physics | 85-88 | 92-95 |
| CAT 2 | English Adv, Chemistry | 80-82 | 90-92 |
| CAT 3 | English Standard, Hospitality | 75-78 | 85-88 |
VCE Scaling Differences (VIC vs HSC):
State Variations: NSW/VIC/QLD use similar percentile-based scaling; QLD emphasizes external exams (25%). Aggregate = Best 10 units (2 English + 8 others). ATAR = Percentile rank (0.00-99.95).

The ATAR Calculator is an essential tool for students across Australia who want a clear, accurate estimate of their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank. Whether you’re in NSW (HSC), Victoria (VCE Calculator), Queensland (QCE/QTAC), South Australia (SACE), Western Australia (WACE Calculator), the ACT (BSSS), or preparing as an international student, this tool helps you understand exactly where you stand and what results you need to reach your university goals.
Designed for clarity and accuracy, this calculator simplifies the complex ATAR system, giving you instant feedback based on updated scaling data, study scores, subject weightings, and regional requirements. With built-in support for related tools like the Study Score Calculator, ATAR Score Calculator, ATAR Scaling Calculator, and ATAR to GPA Calculator, it provides a complete academic planning solution for students across Australia.
An ATAR Calculator is an online tool designed to help students in Australia estimate their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) before receiving their official results. The ATAR is a percentile ranking used by universities to assess a student’s overall academic performance compared to their peers. It plays a critical role in university admissions, as many courses use the ATAR as a key entry requirement.
Using an ATAR Calculator, students can input their subject scores, scaled marks, and study scores to get an approximate ATAR. The calculator takes into account the different weightings and scaling processes used in various Australian states and territories, such as VCE, HSC, QCE, SACE, WACE, or BSSS systems. While the results from an ATAR Calculator are only an estimate, they provide valuable guidance for students planning their university applications and understanding their relative academic standing.
The calculator works by combining your subject results, scaling factors, and calculation rules specific to your state.
Your raw marks
Your scaled or moderated study scores
Subject groupings (English, Maths, Sciences, etc.)
State moderation systems (e.g., HSC scaling, VCE scaling, SACE, WACE, QCE conversion)
Percentile ranks
ATAR conversion tables
Because ATAR scaling is updated every year, our calculator uses recent data from trusted sources such as:
UAC (University Admissions Centre)
VTAC (Victoria Tertiary Admissions Centre)
TISC (Tertiary Institutions Service Centre, WA)
QTAC (Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre)
SATAC (South Australia / NT)
BSSS (ACT Education Directorate)
This ensures the calculator remains aligned with actual Australian state processes and provides reliable predictions.
In NSW, ATAR is calculated based on your scaled HSC marks. Subjects are moderated by UAC according to student cohort performance.
The calculator supports:
HSC scaling
Band conversions
Subject adjustments
English requirement
Percentile ranking
NSW students commonly use this tool to estimate what Band levels they need to reach their university prerequisites.
VCE uses raw and scaled study scores to calculate your ATAR. Scaling varies significantly because subject difficulty and cohort strength differ.
The calculator includes:
Study Score Calculator for VCE
Raw → Scaled score conversions
English group rules
Best 4 subjects + increments
This helps students understand how subjects like Specialist Maths, Chemistry, and Physics scale compared to others.
Queensland uses a system based on:
Subject achievements
QCE points
External assessments
QTAC conversions
Our calculator interprets the QCE point system and converts it into a predicted ATAR range.
SACE relies on scaled scores and subject combinations defined by SATAC.
The calculator predicts scaled subject scores and converts them to ATAR precisely.
WA uses TISC data that considers:
Scaled marks
School assessment moderation
Examination weighting
Our calculator integrates TISC methodology to give accurate WACE predictions.
The ACT uses a unique system where scaling and moderation occur through BSSS data.
Our calculator adapts these rules to provide ACT-specific predictions.
International students applying to Australian universities often require:
ATAR conversion
GPA to ATAR comparison
ATAR equivalency evaluation
Scaled subject score conversion
The calculator includes a special module that helps international applicants understand how their academic results compare to the Australian ATAR system.
This is useful for students seeking admission into:
