Use inches or centimeters and get US, UK, EU, French, and AU/NZ size results with sister-size guidance.

Before you calculate

You need two measurements:

1. Underbust

Measure around your ribcage directly under your bust. Keep the tape level and snug.

2. Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape straight and relaxed.

Tip: Use a soft measuring tape and measure without thick clothing or padding.

Your calculated size is a starting size

Bra sizing is not perfectly standardized across brands. Your result gives you the best measurement-based starting point, then you can adjust using fit checks, sister sizes, and brand size charts.

How this bra size calculator works

This calculator estimates your bra size from two measurements:

  • Underbust: used to estimate your band size
  • Bust: used with your band measurement to estimate cup size

The difference between your bust and band measurements helps determine the cup letter. Your selected country changes the size label because US, UK, EU, French, and AU/NZ systems use different band and cup naming rules.

Understand the result

What your calculated bra size means

A bra size combines a band number and a cup letter.

For example, in 34C:

  • 34 is the band size around the ribcage
  • C is the cup size based on the difference between bust and band measurements

Cup letters are not fixed volumes by themselves. A 34C and 36C do not have the exact same cup volume because cup size changes with band size.

Fit check

After you calculate, check these three things

1. Band fit

The band should feel snug and stay level around your body.

2. Cup fit

The cup should contain breast tissue without gaping, spilling, or cutting in.

3. Center and wire fit

The center gore and underwire should sit comfortably without pressing on breast tissue.

Troubleshooting

What if my calculated bra size feels wrong?

Your result is a starting point. If the first size does not feel right, use these checks:

Band rides up

Try a smaller band size, or a sister size with a smaller band and larger cup.

Cups spill over

Try a larger cup size, or check whether the cup shape is too shallow.

Cups gape

Try a smaller cup, a different cup shape, or a sister size depending on how the band feels.

Straps dig in

The band may be too loose, causing the straps to carry too much weight.

Underwire sits on breast tissue

Try a larger cup, a wider wire, or a cup shape with more room where your tissue sits.

More detail

Want a more detailed fit check?

The standard calculator uses two measurements: underbust and bust. That works well for a quick starting size.

The advanced bra size calculator uses six measurements to better account for breast projection, fullness, tissue distribution, and measurement variation.

Use the advanced calculator if:

  • your result seems close but not quite right
  • you have projected, shallow, soft, or uneven tissue
  • you are between sizes
  • your current bra size always feels inconsistent across brands

Bra size calculator FAQ

How do I calculate my bra size?

Measure your underbust directly under your bust, then measure around the fullest part of your bust. Enter both measurements into the bra size calculator, choose inches or centimeters, and select your sizing region to estimate your starting band and cup size.

Is this calculator accurate?

The calculator gives a measurement-based starting size, not a guaranteed final fit. Bra fit can still change by brand, fabric, wire width, cup shape, and personal comfort.

Should I measure in inches or cm?

Use whichever unit is easiest for you. The bra size calculator works in inches and centimeters, as long as you use the same unit for both underbust and bust measurements.

Why do US and UK calculator results differ?

US and UK bra sizing use different cup-label progressions, especially after D. Your body measurements can be the same while the displayed size label changes by region or brand.

Is my result final?

Treat the result as a strong starting size. Bra fit still depends on brand, cup shape, wire width, fabric, and personal comfort, so use fit checks and sister sizes if the first result is close but not perfect.

What are sister sizes?

Sister sizes are nearby sizes with similar cup volume but different band sizes. For example, if the cups feel close but the band is too loose, a smaller-band sister size can help.

What if I am between sizes?

Start with the size closest to your measurements, then compare the fit. If the band feels wrong but the cups are close, use sister sizing; if the cups spill or gape, adjust cup size or cup shape.

Can I use this as a bra cup size calculator?

Yes. The calculator uses the difference between bust and band measurements to estimate cup size, then combines that cup estimate with your band size and selected sizing region.
