Bra Size Calculator
Enter your snug underbust and your bust at its fullest point, and this calculator returns your starting size in all 7 international systems at once, with sister sizes included. It uses the modern no-add method: your band is your actual underbust measurement, not your measurement plus four inches.
Results update live as you type, and nothing you enter leaves your browser. Measure braless or in a non-padded bra, tape snug and level; the measuring guide below shows exactly where the tape sits.
This calculation runs entirely in your browser. Your measurements are never stored or sent anywhere.
How we calculate: the exact method
Band: your underbust measurement, rounded to the nearest even number for US and UK sizing, and to the nearest 5 centimeters for EU, JP and KR. French bands add 15 to the EU number, and Australian bands use dress-number logic where an AU 10 equals a US 32. We do not add four or five inches to the underbust. That plus-four habit dates from an era of non-stretch fabrics, and on modern elastic bands it produces bands too loose to support anything.
Cup: the difference between your bust and band measurements, where each inch of difference is one cup letter. One inch is an A, two a B, three a C, four a D. After D the ladders diverge by system: US runs DD, DDD, G while UK runs DD, E, F, FF, G, and Japanese and Korean letters run about one letter fuller than European for the same difference. That divergence is exactly why this calculator shows all 7 systems side by side.
What to do with your result
Treat the number as a fitting-room starting point, not a verdict. A correctly sized band should feel firmly snug on the loosest hook when new, the center gore should sit flat against your sternum, and all tissue should sit inside the wire line. If any of those fail, the fit problem solver diagnoses which direction to adjust.
Then account for brands: a 34DD at Victoria's Secret is cut to a different depth than a 34DD at Freya, even though the label matches. The brand size decoder translates your measured size into a starting size for ten major brands.
