IELTS band score calculator
Enter your four section bands to get your overall band, worked out with the official IELTS rounding rule.
Choose your four section bands.
How the overall band is calculated
The overall band is the average of the four sections, rounded to the nearest half band. An average ending in .25 rounds up to the next half band (6.25 becomes 6.5), and one ending in .75 rounds up to the next whole band (6.75 becomes 7.0). Below that it rounds down (6.125 becomes 6.0).
Many visas and universities also set a minimum for each section, so check both numbers on the English score requirements page.
Universities whose usual minimum you meet
Based on the standard IELTS overall requirement on each university's page; some courses ask for more, and most also need a minimum per section.
