IELTS Band Score Calculator (Overall and Writing)
Use the calculators below for practice estimates: overall band is the average of four skills; Writing weights Task 2 twice. A formula is not a criterion score — paste an essay or start a speaking attempt to see what is actually capping you.
Overall formula
Average Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, then round to 0.5.
Writing formula
(Task 1 + 2 × Task 2) ÷ 3, because Task 2 counts double.
Then verify
Paste a draft or record speaking so the estimate is tied to real work.
Practice only
Not an official IELTS calculator or test-day result.

Formula: (Task 1 + 2 × Task 2) ÷ 3, rounded to the nearest 0.5
Estimated Writing band
7.0
One task: four criteria average
Average of four criteria, rounded to the nearest 0.5. Raise the lowest criterion first.

IELTS overall band score calculator
Official overall bands average Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, then round to the nearest half band. Use this for practice planning, then check whether your Writing or Speaking estimate matches a real draft.
Estimated overall band
6.5
Lowest skill: Writing 6.0 — that is usually the fastest way to lift the average.
IELTS writing calculator vs overall calculator
People search “IELTS writing calculator”, “IELTS writing score calculator”, and “writing band calculator” when they already have two task bands. Use the Writing panel for that.
Use the overall panel when you have four skill scores and want the combined band. If Writing is your lowest skill, paste an essay next — that is how the number becomes an exam.
What the calculator cannot do
- It cannot see Task Response or Fluency problems in your actual answers
- It cannot replace a timed mock
- It cannot issue an official IELTS result
How it works
Enter known bands
Use practice scores or honest estimates.
Note the lowest skill
That skill usually moves the overall band fastest.
Submit real work
Paste Writing or start Speaking practice to test the estimate.
