Find the right belt size from your waist or pant size using the standard plus-2-inch rule.
How It Works
How Belt Size Calculator Works
Belt sizing conventionally runs about 2 inches larger than your actual waist or pant size, to account for the belt buckle and comfortable overlap — the calculator simply adds 2 inches to whatever waist measurement you enter.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use my pant size or my actual waist measurement?
Either works reasonably well, since pant sizing is meant to approximate actual waist measurement — if you have both, your actual measured waist tends to give a slightly more precise result.
Why do belts need extra room beyond the exact waist size?
The buckle and prong need somewhere to fasten with a comfortable amount of leather or fabric left over, which is why belt sizes run larger than pant sizes rather than matching them exactly.
