For 189 / 190 / 491 applicants · Points calculator + 8 tools · Instant access · 30-day money-back
Find your cheapest path to 65, 70 or 80 points — before you waste months testing for the wrong band.
One interactive system for the Australian skilled-migration points test: a calculator that ranks your fastest, lowest-cost route to a qualifying score, an all-8-state nomination comparator, and fill-in document templates — so you choose between the 189, 190 and 491 with a plan, not by cross-checking forty scattered articles and a spreadsheet you build yourself. Built on the same guides that already rank on this site, assembled into tools you can act on.
- The cheapest-path calculator — score the exact 2026 points test, then see your lowest-effort route to 65, 70 and 80 ranked for you (e.g. IELTS 7→8 = +10, add a 491 nomination = +15)
- All 8 states and territories side-by-side on the rules that actually decide your timeline — stop reading eight separate pages
- Skills-assessment, EOI/SkillSelect and English-test decoders — which assessing body, which test banks points fastest, how invitation rounds really work
- Fill-in templates you complete and download in-browser — employment reference, assessment-ready CV, statutory declaration, per-pathway checklists

SkillSelect points test — exact values
~10 min
to your cheapest-path plan
Built on the same free guides that already rank for Australian skilled-migration searches
The calculator runs on the exact 2026 SkillSelect point values — the same numbers the free calculator uses
Every state rule checked against that state's current nomination criteria — nothing invented
The expensive mistakes aren't the fees. They're the wasted months.
Testing for an English band you didn't need. Lodging in a state that was never going to nominate your occupation. Building an employment reference the assessor rejects, then waiting another cycle to fix it. None of these cost you a government fee — they cost you months, and months are the most expensive thing in this process.
Every rule you need is already on this site, free — and it stays free. But reading forty articles doesn't tell you the one thing you came for: if you're sitting on 60 points, what is the single cheapest move to 65? Resit English for +10? Add a partner skills assessment for +10? Chase a 491 nomination for +15? The calculator ranks those moves by effort and shows you the shortest line to your target. An article can't do that.
Skilled applicants spend AU$5,000–10,000 on the whole process. This toolkit is the operating manual and the working tools that keep that five-figure, multi-year decision on track. You're not paying for information. You're paying to stop guessing — and to know your next move in the next ten minutes instead of the next three weekends.
Is this for you?
Yes, if…
- You're pursuing the 189, 190 or 491 yourself
- You're sitting on a score and unsure of the cheapest way to raise it
- You'd rather have working tools than read forty articles
- You're deciding between self-lodging and a MARA agent
Probably not, if…
- You want someone to lodge the whole application for you — that's a MARA agent (the toolkit even tells you when to hire one)
- You're on a student, visitor or partner-only visa
- You've already lodged and just need status updates
- You want a guarantee of a visa — no one honest can give you that
What you can't get by reading — no matter how many tabs you open
The calculator that tells you what to do next
Score the exact 2026 points test, then get your cheapest route to 65, 70 and 80 — ranked by effort, not just a static number. It shows the specific levers: a higher English band (IELTS 7→8 = +10), adding a 491 nomination (+15), claiming partner skills points (+10) — so you spend money on the test or pathway that actually moves you.
Eight states on one screen
The nomination comparator lines up every state and territory on the rules that decide your odds and your timeline, with links to each state's current occupation list — so you stop reading eight separate pages and guessing which one fits your occupation.
Decoders, not wikis
Which assessing body handles your occupation, which English test banks points fastest, how invitation rounds and the date-of-effect rule really work — answered and ranked, not buried across articles.
The reference letter assessors actually accept
The employment reference is where overseas applicants get rejected most — wrong duties, missing hours, no letterhead. Fill in the assessment-ready reference, CV, statutory declaration and per-pathway checklists in your browser and download them, built to the format the assessing bodies expect.

Questions
I've already read all your free articles — what am I actually paying for?
The articles stay free, and they should. What you can't get by reading is the assembled system: the calculator that ranks your cheapest path to a qualifying score, the comparator that lines up all eight states on the rules that decide your timeline, the decoders, and templates you simply fill in. Reading tells you the rules. The toolkit tells you your exact next move. You pay for compression and working tools, not locked-up information.
Why should I trust a AU$49 product I just found?
Fair question. The free guides you may have already read on this site are the same ones that rank for these visas — the toolkit is built on that same researched groundwork, just assembled into working tools. Every points value matches the published 2026 SkillSelect test and every state rule is checked against that state's current nomination criteria; nothing is invented. And you're covered by a 30-day full refund, so the only thing you risk is ten minutes.
I'm going to use a migration agent anyway — why do I need this?
Because it makes the agent cheaper and your case stronger. The built-in DIY-vs-agent tool tells you honestly whether your case is straightforward enough to self-lodge — for many single applicants with a clean occupation and a clear score, it is, which saves the agent fee entirely. And if you do use an agent, you walk in already knowing your points, your cheapest path and your shortlist of states, so you pay them to lodge — not to explain the basics on the clock. Either way the AU$49 pays for itself.
AU$49 — is that the full price, or are there upsells later?
That's the whole price. One-time AU$49, lifetime access, no subscription and nothing else to buy. We know the wider process already costs AU$5,000–10,000, so the toolkit is deliberately priced as a tool that protects that spend, not another recurring bill.
Are the points and state rules accurate?
Every points value matches the published 2026 SkillSelect test, and state rules are checked against each state's current nomination criteria. Estimates are indicative — final eligibility depends on a positive skills assessment and other factors, which the toolkit shows you how to verify. It's a guide, not migration advice.
How do I access it after buying?
Checkout takes about a minute. Straight after payment we send you a one-click access link (and the checkout returns you to it too). Open it on any device and your toolkit unlocks — no account or password to remember.
What if it's not for me?
Reply to your receipt within 30 days and we'll refund you in full — no form, no hassle, no questions. If the toolkit doesn't earn its AU$49 back in saved time and clearer decisions, you shouldn't keep paying for it.
Stop guessing your way to 65 points.
Get the calculator, the all-8-state comparator, the decoders and the fill-in templates — the assembled system that turns AU$5,000–10,000 of migration spend into a plan instead of a gamble. One-time AU$49. Lifetime access. 30 days to change your mind.
