How the Calculation Works
The calculator uses a standard weighted-average model: it solves for the number of new reviews, at your expected new-review average, that would pull your overall Trustpilot rating up to your target — given how many reviews you already have. More existing reviews means each new review moves the average less, so the same rating jump takes more reviews on an established profile than on a newer one.
TrustScore vs. This Estimate
This tool estimates a simple weighted-average outcome from the numbers you enter — it isn't a simulation of Trustpilot's own scoring logic. Trustpilot's displayed TrustScore may apply additional platform-specific factors such as review recency. Treat the result as a planning estimate, not an exact prediction of what Trustpilot will show. For the fuller picture, see what TrustScore is and how it's calculated.
How Many Positive Reviews Offset a 1-Star Review?
There's no fixed number — it depends entirely on how many reviews you already have. A single 1-star review pulls the average of a 10-review profile far more than it pulls a 1,000-review profile. Use the calculator above with your own current rating and review count to model exactly how many new positive reviews it would take to absorb a specific negative review's impact.
Worked Examples
Calculated with the same formula as the tool above:
| Current | Existing reviews | Target | New-review avg. | Reviews needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5★ | 50 | 4.5★ | 4.8★ | ~167 |
| 4.0★ | 100 | 4.5★ | 5.0★ | ~100 |
| 4.2★ | 25 | 4.7★ | 5.0★ | ~42 |
| 4.4★ | 500 | 4.6★ | 5.0★ | ~250 |
