Bra Size Calculator

Estimate a US bra size from your underbust (band) and bust measurements.

Uses the traditional US +4/+5 band method — sizing varies by brand and region, so treat this as a starting point.

Equations used
Band = round(Underbust); add 4 if even, 5 if odd
Cup letter = round(Bust - Band size)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the band size add 4 or 5 to my underbust measurement?

This calculator uses the traditional US method: round your underbust to the nearest inch, then add 4 if that number is even or 5 if it's odd, to get the band size. It's a long-standing rule of thumb rather than a precise fit measurement.

How is the cup letter determined?

The cup letter comes from the difference between your bust (fullest point) measurement and the band size, rounded to the nearest inch — each inch of difference steps up one letter (AA, A, B, C, …) in the CUP_LETTERS scale used here.

What are "sister sizes" and why would I need one?

Sister sizes have the same cup volume as your calculated size but a different band/cup combination — e.g. going down a band and up a cup, or vice versa. They're shown because brands and styles fit differently, so a sister size is often worth trying if your calculated size doesn't fit well.
