How This IELTS Band Calculator Works
The **IELTS (International English Language Testing System)** is a globally recognized English proficiency test. Our **IELTS Band Calculator** simplifies understanding your scores:
- Input Your Scores:
- For Listening and Reading, you can enter your raw score (number of correct answers out of 40) or directly input your band score (0.0-9.0).
- For Writing and Speaking, enter your final band score (0.0-9.0).
- Raw to Band Conversion: If you enter raw scores for Listening or Reading, the tool automatically converts them to their corresponding band scores using the latest official 2025 IELTS raw-to-band conversion tables.
- Overall Band Calculation: Your overall IELTS band is calculated by averaging the four individual section band scores. This average is then rounded to the nearest whole or half band according to official IELTS rules:
- An average ending in .25 (e.g., 6.25) is rounded up to the next half band (e.g., 6.5).
- An average ending in .75 (e.g., 6.75) is rounded up to the next whole band (e.g., 7.0).
- Other fractions are rounded to the nearest whole or half band (e.g., 6.1 rounds to 6.0, 6.6 rounds to 6.5).
- View Results & Chart: Your individual section bands, raw scores (if applicable), and the final overall band will be displayed in a clear table. A bar chart provides a visual comparison of your performance across modules.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about IELTS Bands
The **IELTS overall band** is the average of your four section band scores (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking). This average is then rounded to the nearest half or whole band. Specifically, if the average ends in .25 (e.g., 6.25), it's rounded up to the next half band (6.5). If it ends in .75 (e.g., 6.75), it rounds up to the next whole band (7.0). Other fractions are rounded to the nearest .0 or .5.
Yes! Our **IELTS raw score converter** allows you to input your raw scores (number of correct answers out of 40) for both Listening and Reading. The tool will then automatically convert these raw scores to their corresponding IELTS band scores using the official 2025 raw-to-band conversion tables.
IELTS reports band scores in whole (e.g., 6.0, 7.0) or half (e.g., 6.5, 7.5) increments. The raw scores from the Listening and Reading sections are mapped to these specific band levels. This granularity allows for a more precise assessment of a test-taker's proficiency.

General Training often requires fewer correct answers to achieve the same band score, especially at higher levels, because the passages are generally less complex. Our calculator allows you to choose the correct reading type for accurate conversion.
