Bra Size Calculator
This bra size calculator take into account over bust, under bust, cup size and brand size to to help women determine their correct bra size.
The band size refers to the measurement around the ribcage just under the breasts, while the cup size indicates the volume of the breasts.
A woman who wants to find her correct bra size. She measures her underbust (band size) at 32 inches and her overbust (fullest part of her breasts) at 36 inches. Using bra size calculator, she would input these measurements. The calculator would then determine that her band size is 32 and her cup size is D (as there’s a 4-inch difference between her underbust and overbust measurements). Therefore, Sarah’s bra size would be 32D.

Bra Size Formula
The bra size formula consists of two parts: determining the band size and calculating the cup size.
- Band Size Formula:
- The underbust measurement is even, add 4 inches.
- The underbust measurement is odd, add 5 inches.
- Cup Size Formula:
- Subtract the band size from the overbust measurement.
- The difference determines the cup size (refer to the chart above).
Emma has an underbust measurement of 31 inches and an overbust measurement of 37 inches.
Band Size: 31 (odd) + 5 = 36
Cup Size: 37 (overbust) – 36 (band size) = 1 inch difference
According to the chart, a 1-inch difference corresponds to an A cup. Therefore, Emma’s bra size would be 36A.
How Do I Measure My Bra Size Myself?
For measuring your bra size at home you’ll need a soft measuring tape and preferably wear an unpadded bra or no bra at all.
Follow these steps:
Measure your band size: Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, just under your breasts. Make sure it’s parallel to the ground. Round to the nearest whole number.
Measure your bust size: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your breasts, typically at nipple level. The tape should be snug but not tight.
Calculate your cup size: Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement. Each inch of difference represents a cup size.
Let’s say you measures yourself and finds:
- Underbust (band) measurement: 30 inches
- Overbust (bust) measurement: 35 inches
First, you determines your band size. Since 30 is even, You add 4: 30 + 4 = 34.
Then, calculates cup size: 35 – 34 = 1 inch difference.
A 1-inch difference corresponds to an A cup. Therefore, your bra size is 34A.
