How the calculation works
Band is rounded from snug underbust; cup progression is estimated from bust minus band.
Bra Size Calculator: formula-based step-by-step solution
This Bra Size Calculator worked derivation uses the published default state. Its live formula panel replaces these values whenever an input, unit, mode, date, material, or scenario changes.
Idx = max(0,min(us.length-1,round(diff)))Band = s('round') = 'up'?ceil(v('under') ÷ 2) × 2:round(v('under') ÷ 2) × 2Diff = max(0,round((v('bust')-band) × 2) ÷ 2)Cup = (s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[idx]Size = band+' '+cupSister Down = (band-2)+' '+((s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[min(idx+1,us.length-1)])Sister Up = (band+2)+' '+((s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[max(0,idx-1)])
1. Governing formulas and numeric substitution
- Formula 1:
Idx = max(0,min(us.length-1,round(diff)))Default-value substitution:Idx = max(0,min(us.length-1,round(diff))) | current data: Snug underbust in=32; Standing bust in=36; Sizing system=us; Band rounding=even - Formula 2:
Band = s('round') = 'up'?ceil(v('under') ÷ 2) × 2:round(v('under') ÷ 2) × 2Default-value substitution:Band = s('round') = 'up'?ceil(v('(32)') ÷ 2) × 2:round(v('(32)') ÷ 2) × 2 - Formula 3:
Diff = max(0,round((v('bust')-band) × 2) ÷ 2)Default-value substitution:Diff = max(0,round((v('(36)')-band) × 2) ÷ 2) - Formula 4:
Cup = (s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[idx]Default-value substitution:Cup = (s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[idx] | current data: Snug underbust in=32; Standing bust in=36; Sizing system=us; Band rounding=even - Formula 5:
Size = band+' '+cupDefault-value substitution:Size = band+' '+cup | current data: Snug underbust in=32; Standing bust in=36; Sizing system=us; Band rounding=even - Formula 6:
Sister Down = (band-2)+' '+((s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[min(idx+1,us.length-1)])Default-value substitution:Sister Down = (band-2)+' '+((s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[min(idx+1,us.length-1)]) | current data: Snug underbust in=32; Standing bust in=36; Sizing system=us; Band rounding=even - Formula 7:
Sister Up = (band+2)+' '+((s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[max(0,idx-1)])Default-value substitution:Sister Up = (band+2)+' '+((s('system') = 'uk'?uk:us)[max(0,idx-1)]) | current data: Snug underbust in=32; Standing bust in=36; Sizing system=us; Band rounding=even

What to verify
Brand patterns and breast shape vary. Use this as a fitting start and assess band level, wire placement and cup containment.
How accurate is this calculator?
For the Bra Size Calculator, verify the stated assumptions, domain limits and any professional requirements that apply. The calculator applies Idx = max(0,min(us.length-1,round(diff))) to Snug underbust in, Standing bust in, and Sizing system and reports AA, Starting size, and Band; confirm the real-world data, code, product specification, or professional standard before acting on a consequential result.
Does it use U.S. defaults?
The Bra Size Calculator uses U.S.-first defaults where conventions affect Snug underbust in, Standing bust in, and Sizing system; its visible selectors identify alternate measurements explicitly. The reported AA, Starting size, and Band follows the selected units and the same canonical equation Idx = max(0,min(us.length-1,round(diff))).
Is data sent to a server?
The Bra Size Calculator evaluates Idx = max(0,min(us.length-1,round(diff))) locally in the browser. Values entered for Snug underbust in, Standing bust in, and Sizing system are used to produce AA, Starting size, and Band inside the `bra-size` module and are not transmitted to a remote solver or stored by this calculator.

bra size calculator is designed for a transparent calculation rather than a black-box answer. Bra Size Calculator: estimate a U.S. bra band and cup starting size from snug underbust and standing bust measurements, with sister sizes and fit guidance.
How to use the bra size calculator in 5 steps
- Choose the required mode. Select the calculation path that matches the quantity you know and the result you need.
- Enter source values. Use measured, documented or assignment values rather than rounded estimates whenever possible.
- Confirm every unit. The bra size calculator converts supported units before formula substitution, so each selector must describe the entered number.
- Run the calculation. Review the displayed formula, normalized values and numeric substitution before accepting the final result.
- Verify the answer. Reproduce the substitution manually and check whether the output is reasonable for the stated assumptions.
Bra Size Calculator formula and unit checks
The bra size calculator keeps source inputs, canonical calculation units and displayed output units separate. This prevents a correct formula from producing a wrong answer because feet were treated as meters, percentages as decimals, or time values as the wrong interval.
For an independent check, copy the formula shown by the calculator, substitute the unrounded canonical values, preserve full precision through intermediate operations and round only the final result. The verified answer should match both the displayed number and its measurement unit.
How to interpret the bra size calculator result
A result is useful only when its assumptions match the real problem. Compare the answer with expected ranges, inspect any warning or boundary message, and test a nearby input to confirm that the output changes in the direction predicted by the governing relationship.
The bra size calculator provides an educational and planning result. For regulated, medical, structural, financial, laboratory or safety-critical decisions, verify the inputs and method against the applicable professional requirements before acting.
