About this tool
Sum TOEFL iBT section scores into the 0-120 total, see ETS performance levels and compare with IELTS bands via the ETS linking table.
This converter computes the TOEFL iBT total — the sum of the Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing sections, each scored 0–30 for a maximum of 120 — and maps it to an IELTS band using the score linking table ETS published from its TOEFL–IELTS comparison study. It also labels each section with the ETS performance level (Advanced, High-Intermediate, and so on) shown on official score reports, so applicants can read a practice score the way an admissions office would.

IELTS comparison uses the ETS score comparison study, not an invented mapping.
Each 0–30 section is labelled with the performance level from post-2019 score reports.

94–101 on the TOEFL iBT total corresponds to IELTS band 7.0 in the ETS linking table, with 102–109 matching 7.5. The comparison comes from an ETS study of candidates who took both tests, so treat it as an approximation rather than a guarantee.
It is the simple sum of the four section scores — Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing, each scaled 0–30 — giving a total from 0 to 120. There is no averaging or rounding; a 26 + 25 + 23 + 24 profile totals 98.
Many universities set undergraduate minimums around 80 and competitive graduate programmes commonly ask for 90–100, with top programmes at 100+. Requirements are institution-specific and some also set per-section minimums, so check the exact figure for each programme.
ETS divides each section into proficiency bands on the score report — for Reading and Writing, Advanced is 24–30 and High-Intermediate is 18–23 and 17–23 respectively; for Listening, Advanced is 22–30; for Speaking, Advanced is 25–30. They summarise what a scorer at that range can typically do rather than changing the numeric score.
