SponsorCheck

Protect your Sponsor Licence.

Run a neutral check before assigning a Certificate of Sponsorship: salary, hours, occupation match and family-cost exposure, before the application path is locked in.

Free · no account needed · built on the April 2026 rules

An employer and adviser reviewing a sponsorship decision together

The compliance risk is in the detail, not the headline salary.

01

Before the certificate

Catch it before assignment

Confirm salary, hours and occupation match before the sponsor commits to the role.

02

Monthly

Not just the annual figure

Test pay against the rolling monthly window, where most threshold breaches actually happen.

03

On file

A defensible record

Every paid check includes a neutral, version-stamped summary for HR and legal review.

When to run SponsorCheck

  • Before assigning a Certificate of Sponsorship

    Confirm the salary, hours and occupation match against the April 2026 thresholds, before the role is locked in.

  • Before extending an early-career hire

    Forecast the date the lower 'new entrant' threshold ends, and the raise the salary will need to survive it.

  • Before refusing an extension

    Produce a neutral, version-stamped summary for the decision file.

How it works

A serious check, not a vibe.

SponsorCheck reads the actual April 2026 rules and gives a deterministic answer, the same maths the Home Office applies, with the numbers shown.

100%

Deterministic

Private by default

Your inputs are processed server-side and never shared. No account, no marketing list. Run a check and leave.

Built on GOV.UK data

Every threshold, going rate and fee comes straight from the April 2026 Home Office tables, version-stamped.

Catches the costly errors

Salary cliffs, the monthly pay-period test, hourly-rate floors: the traps that quietly sink applications after the fees are paid.

  • Salary required£54,700
  • Salary offered£60,000
  • Hourly-rate gatePass
  • 12-month pay testPass

For applicants and sponsors

The same deterministic check whether you’re the person applying or the employer assigning the Certificate of Sponsorship.
