Bra Size Calculator
Band Size (Underbust)
Wrap a tape measure snugly around your ribcage, just under your bust. This gives you the number part of your size (e.g., 34, 36).
Bust Size
Measure around the fullest part of your chest. The difference between this and your band size determines your cup size (e.g., A, B, C).

Bra Size Calculator
Wearing the right bra size plays a major role in comfort, posture, and everyday confidence. The Bra Size Calculator is an easy-to-use online tool that helps estimate your correct bra size using underbust and bust measurements.
Many people wear the wrong bra size without realizing it. This calculator removes guesswork by converting basic measurements into a clear band and cup size result. It also suggests possible sister sizes to help users find the best fit across different brands.
Note: This tool provides size estimates and does not replace professional bra fitting.
What Is a Bra Size Calculator?
A Bra Size Calculator is a measurement-based tool used to estimate bra band size and cup size. It works by comparing the circumference of the ribcage (underbust) with the fullest part of the bust.
The band size represents the numeric portion of a bra size, while the cup size reflects the difference between bust and band measurements. Because sizing systems can vary slightly between regions and brands, the calculator focuses on standard sizing logic to provide a reliable starting point.
Bra sizing is based on body proportions rather than appearance alone. For background information on bra sizing systems, you can explore Wikipedia.

Bra Size Formula and Measurements
Bra size calculation is based on two key measurements.
Step 1: Band Size
The band size is typically derived from the underbust measurement. In many sizing systems, this is rounded to the nearest even number.
Step 2: Cup Size
Cup size is calculated from the difference between bust and band measurements.
Cup Size Difference (inches):
- 1 inch = A cup
- 2 inches = B cup
- 3 inches = C cup
- 4 inches = D cup
- 5 inches = DD/E cup
Example:
If band size is 28 inches and bust size is 32 inches:
32 − 28 = 4 inches → D cup
Result: 28D
The calculator also suggests sister sizes, which have similar cup volume but different band lengths, helping users find alternatives if one size feels tight or loose.
