Continuing Education Credits Tracker
Track your continuing education (CE) credits and calculate how many more you need to meet your professional licensing renewal requirements.
Fill in the fields above and click Calculate.
Formulas Used
Credits Remaining = Credits Required − Credits Completed
Completion % = (Credits Completed ÷ Credits Required) × 100
Courses Still Needed = ⌈ Credits Remaining ÷ Avg Hours per Course ⌉
Credits per Month Needed = Credits Remaining ÷ Months Until Renewal
Courses per Month Needed = Credits Remaining ÷ (Avg Hours per Course × Months Until Renewal)
Weeks Between Courses = (Months Until Renewal × 4.345) ÷ Courses Still Needed
Remaining Cost = Credits Remaining × Cost per Credit Hour
Total Projected Cost = Credits Required × Cost per Credit Hour
Assumptions & References
- 1 month is approximated as 4.345 weeks (365 ÷ 12 ÷ 7).
- Courses needed is always rounded up to ensure the requirement is fully met.
- CE credit hours are assumed to equal clock hours (1 credit = 1 hour) unless your licensing board specifies otherwise.
- Cost estimates are linear projections; bulk discounts, employer reimbursements, or free credits are not factored in.
- Renewal period requirements vary by profession and jurisdiction — verify totals with your licensing board (e.g., NASBA for CPAs, state bar associations for attorneys, ANCC for nurses).
- Some professions require credits in specific subject areas (ethics, clinical hours, etc.); this tool tracks total hours only.
- Reference: IACET (International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training) defines 1 CEU = 10 contact hours of instruction.
