You won't get a guaranteed shutter speed so long as you are holding it with your hands.

If you want to guarantee stability, you need to use a tripod.

If you just want to use optical stabilisation to shoot at a smaller aperture or lower iso, you just have to try the shutter speed you want and check the photo afterwards. If it's not sharp enough, try again.

On your lens I find shooting at under 1/15s risky at all focal lengths. Sometimes I can go down to 1/5s, but only if I'm very composed and have the time.
