Bra Size Calculator
Bra Size Calculator — How to Measure & Convert
Finding the right bra size requires two measurements: your underbust (band size) and your bust (cup size). This calculator converts your centimetre measurements into US, UK, EU, and FR/BE bra sizes.
How to measure
- Underbust (band): Wrap a tape measure around your ribcage directly under your breasts. Breathe normally. The tape should be snug but not tight.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
Band size calculation
- Convert underbust cm to inches: cm ÷ 2.54
- Round up to the nearest even number in inches — this is your US/UK band size
- EU band = underbust cm + 15 (rounded to nearest 5)
- FR/BE band = EU band + 15
Cup size from bust–band difference (US/UK)
| Difference (inches) | US Cup | EU Cup |
|---|---|---|
| ≤0 | AA | AA |
| ½ | A | A |
| 1½ | B | B |
| 2½ | C | C |
| 3½ | D | D |
| 4½ | DD | E |
| 5½ | DDD/E | F |
| 6½ | F/G | G |
Sister sizes
Sister sizes have the same cup volume but different band sizes. For example, 34C = 36B = 32D. If your band size doesn't feel right, try a sister size.
