The difference
A calculator answers a question. A system carries your situation.
Gives you a date.
Knows what the date depends on — your route, trips, and family — and watches all of it.
Forgets you when you close the tab.
Remembers your whole situation, so every answer starts from your context, not a blank form.
Answers once.
Speaks up on its own when the rules change or a deadline nears — before it's urgent.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Is SettleWell just an ILR calculator?
No — it includes one. SettleWell holds your whole UK immigration situation: visa route, sponsor, family members, absences, and policy changes. Your ILR eligibility date is one output of that system, kept current as your situation changes.
How is my ILR eligibility date calculated?
From your visa route and qualifying-period start date, adjusted for absences against the 180-days-in-any-12-months rule. We recompute whenever you log a trip or the rules change, and remind you 180, 90, 60, 30, and 14 days before any deadline.
Which UK visa routes does SettleWell cover?
The major routes to settlement — Skilled Worker, Health and Care, spouse and partner, Global Talent, and the 10-year long residence route among others. The two-minute pre-screen tells you whether your route is supported.
How much does SettleWell cost?
The settlement timeline, absence tracker, and reminders are free forever. Plus (£7.99/month or £59.99/year) unlocks unlimited Ask SettleWell, family timelines, and document storage.
Is SettleWell legal advice?
No. We quote the rules and translate them into plain language. For official advice, we route you to a licensed immigration advisor through our directory.
Is my data shared with the Home Office?
Never. SettleWell is independent of the Home Office and every immigration authority. Your data is encrypted, stored in EU data centres, and you can export or delete it at any time.
