Find your perfect ring size using measurements you can take at home. Enter your details below to determine your ring size in various international standards.

Measurement Method

Wrap a string or paper strip around your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length
Measuring Tips:
  • Measure when your fingers are at normal temperature (not too cold or hot)
  • Measure at the end of the day when your fingers are at their largest
  • If your knuckle is significantly larger than the base of your finger, take two measurements and choose a size in between
Measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits you well
Measuring Tips:
  • Place your ring on a ruler and measure the inside edge to inside edge
  • For more accuracy, use a digital caliper if available
  • Make sure to measure straight across the middle (diameter), not the circumference
Enter a ring size you already know

Adjustments

Wider rings typically need 0.5 size larger than standard width rings
Fingers tend to swell in hot weather and shrink in cold weather

Understanding Ring Sizes

Ring sizes vary internationally with different measurement systems. The most common are US, UK, European, and Japanese systems. All are based on either the inner circumference or diameter of the ring.

Size Measurement Basics
  • Circumference: The measured distance around the inside of the ring (or around your finger)
  • Diameter: The straight-line distance across the inside of the ring
  • US/Canada: Sizes typically range from 3-13, with half sizes available
  • UK/Australia: Sizes typically range from F-Z, with half sizes available
  • European: Sizes range from about 40-76, based on the inner circumference in mm
  • Japanese: Sizes range from about 1-27, based on the inner circumference in mm

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates based on standard ring size conversions. For valuable or permanent rings, we recommend getting professionally sized by a jeweler. Fingers can change size based on temperature, time of day, and other factors. This tool is for reference only.

Ring Size Calculator: Find the Perfect Fit

The Ring Size Calculator helps you determine your ring size accurately using easy, at-home measurements. Whether you're buying a ring online or checking a gift size, this tool eliminates the guesswork by converting your measurement into standard ring sizes across US, UK, EU, and Japanese systems.

Ring Circumference Formula:
\( \text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{Diameter} \)

How It Works

This calculator offers three simple ways to measure or verify your ring size:

  • Finger Circumference: Use a strip of paper or string to measure around your finger, then enter the length.
  • Ring Diameter: Measure the inside width of a ring that fits well and input the value.
  • Existing Ring Size: Enter a known size in your local sizing system to see equivalents in Other standards.

Adjust for Style and Conditions

The tool accounts for important real-world factors:

  • Ring Style: Wide bands or comfort-fit rings affect how snug the ring feels. The calculator adjusts the size accordingly.
  • Weather & Time: Fingers can swell in heat or shrink in cold. The tool includes seasonal adjustments for better accuracy.
