IELTS band calculator
Choose your four skill bands. The calculator shows your overall band using the official rounding rule. Turn on "Canada PR" to see your CLB level for each skill.
Enter your four bands
Average 6.50 → rounds to 6.5
| Skill | Your band | CLB level |
|---|---|---|
| Listening | – | – |

Your CLB is typically judged per skill; many programs require a minimum in each. Based on IELTS General Training only. IRCC can update these levels, so check the current equivalency chart on canada.ca before you apply.

How the overall band is rounded
Your overall band is the average of your four bands, rounded to the nearest half band. An average ending in .25 rounds up to .5. An average ending in .75 rounds up to the next whole band.
- 6.5, 6.5, 5.0, 7.0 → average 6.25 → 6.5
- 7.0, 7.0, 6.5, 6.5 → average 6.75 → 7.0
- 6.5, 6.5, 5.5, 6.0 → average 6.125 → 6.0
