TOEFL iBT Total Score Calculator
Add your four section scores to get your TOEFL iBT total, plus an approximate CEFR level.
25 + 26 + 24 + 25 = 100. Approximate overall CEFR: C1 (ETS maps CEFR per section, not from the total).
Your TOEFL iBT total is simply the sum of the four section scores — Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing — each reported from 0 to 30. So a candidate scoring 25, 26, 24, and 25 gets 25 + 26 + 24 + 25 = 100 out of 120. There is no weighting: every section counts equally toward the total.
How the TOEFL iBT total works
The TOEFL iBT reports four section scores — Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing — and each is scaled from 0 to 30. Your total score is just those four numbers added together, giving a figure between 0 and 120. Unlike some admissions tests, the sections are not weighted or averaged: a point in Speaking is worth exactly as much as a point in Reading.
Because the total is a plain sum, the highest possible score is 30 × 4 = 120 and the lowest is 0. Knowing the total is useful for a quick check against a program’s stated minimum, but many universities also set a floor for each individual section, so the four numbers matter on their own as well.
An approximate CEFR level
It is common to translate a TOEFL total into a rough CEFR level (A1–C2). This calculator does that using broad bands — for example a total of 95 or above sits around C1. Treat this as approximate only: ETS officially maps CEFR per section, not from the total, so the total-based level is a convenience, not the official reading.
- 1 Note each section score. Find your Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing scores — each is reported from 0 to 30.
- 2 Add the four together. For example, 25 + 26 + 24 + 25. There is no weighting, so you simply sum them.
- 3 Read the total. The sum is your TOEFL iBT total, from 0 to 120 — here, 100.
- 4 Check the approximate CEFR band. A total of 100 falls in the 95+ range, so it maps to roughly C1 — a rough guide, not the official per-section mapping.
- 5 Compare with the requirement. Confirm your total meets the program’s minimum, and check any minimum required in each individual section too.
Approximate TOEFL total → CEFR level
Approximate only. ETS officially maps CEFR per section, not from the total — use these bands as a rough guide, not an official conversion.
| TOEFL iBT total | Approximate CEFR |
|---|---|
| 95–120 | C1 (or higher) |
| 72–94 | B2 |
| 42–71 | B1 |
| 0–41 | A2 or below |
What to keep in mind
Unlike tests that average or weight their parts, the TOEFL iBT total is a straight sum — the four sections simply add up, with no section counting for more than another. That makes the arithmetic easy, but it also means a weak section can be masked by strong ones in the total.
This is why the CEFR level shown here is only approximate: the official CEFR mapping is defined per section, so two people with the same total of 100 can sit at different CEFR levels depending on how their points are distributed. And because many universities set both a minimum total and minimum section scores, always read the exact requirement — hitting the total alone may not be enough if one section falls short.
