Free IELTS band calculator. Estimate your overall IELTS band from Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking section scores. Updated with current IELTS Academic and General Training scoring tables.
The overall IELTS band is the average of all four section scores (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking), rounded to the nearest 0.5 or whole band.
Most universities accept overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0. Top-tier programs (Oxford, Cambridge, Ivy League) require 7.0–7.5 overall.
If the average ends in .25, it rounds up to the next half band; .75 rounds up to the next whole band.
