How to measure your ring size at home

A ring sizer with three ways to find your size. Measure mode turns a string or paper-strip measurement (or a ring's inner diameter) into your size, then adjusts it for a large knuckle, the band width and the temperature you measured at, showing each step. On-screen mode lets you calibrate your display with any bank or ID card and match a ring you already own to a circle on screen, useful for surprise engagement rings. Convert mode switches any known size between US/Canada, UK/Australia, EU/ISO, German diameter, Japanese/Chinese/Indian and Swiss/Italian scales. A printable ring sizer with true-scale circles and a paper strip, plus a full conversion chart, round it off. Nothing is uploaded.

Wrap a strip of paper or non-stretch string around the base of the finger, mark where it overlaps and measure that length in millimetres: this is your finger's circumference. Enter it in Measure mode. For the most accurate result, measure at the end of the day at room temperature, measure three times, and if your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, measure the knuckle too, because the ring has to slide over it. Divide the circumference by π (3.1416) and you get the inner diameter.

How to use Ring Size Calculator

  1. 1

    Pick how you'll measure

    Use Measure finger with string or a paper strip, Size a ring on screen if you have a ring that fits, or Convert size if you already know your size in one country.

  2. 2

    Enter your measurement

    Type the circumference or inner diameter in mm, cm or inches. Add your knuckle size, the band width and when you measured for a more accurate recommendation. For on-screen sizing, calibrate with a card first.

  3. 3

    Read your size in every system

    See your recommended size in US, UK, EU, German, Japanese and Swiss sizing, plus the exact inner circumference and diameter, and whether you're between sizes.

  4. 4

    Print or share

    Print the true-scale ring sizer or the chart, copy all your sizes for a jeweller, or share the link.

Common use cases

  • Finding an engagement ring size secretly from a ring your partner already wears

Detailed guide

International ring size conversion chart

Ring sizes are country-specific scales built on the same two numbers: the ring's inner diameter and inner circumference. The US and Canada use numbers that step by 0.032" (0.81 mm) of diameter; the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand use letters with half sizes; EU and ISO 8653 sizes are the circumference in mm; Germany uses the diameter in mm; Switzerland, Italy and Spain use the circumference minus 40; and Japan, China and India use a numeric scale of about one third of a millimetre of diameter per size.

Find a ring size without measuring your finger

If you're planning a surprise, borrow a ring the person wears on the same finger (ideally the same hand). Use the on-screen sizer: calibrate your screen by holding a bank card against it, then lay the ring on the circle and resize until the circle touches the inside edge. You can also print the ring sizer and match the ring to a circle, or measure the ring's inner diameter with a ruler. Average ring sizes are about US 6–7 for women and 9–10 for men; if you have to guess, go slightly larger, since a loose ring is easier to fix.

Band width, knuckles and temperature

A wide band touches more of your finger, so it feels tighter: size up half a size for bands of 6–8 mm and about three quarters for 8 mm and wider. If your knuckle is much larger than the base of the finger, choose a size between the two so the ring slides on without spinning. Fingers swell in heat and after exercise and shrink in the cold by up to half a size, so the calculator corrects for when you measured.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my ring size at home?

Wrap a strip of paper or string around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length in millimetres. That's your circumference: enter it in Measure mode to get your US, UK, EU, German, Japanese and Swiss sizes at once. Measure at the end of the day, and choose the larger size if you're between two.

How can I find my ring size without a tape measure?

Use the on-screen sizer. Hold any bank or ID card against the screen to calibrate it, then lay a ring that fits on the circle and adjust until it touches the inside edge. You can also print the ring sizer, which has true-scale circles and a cut-out paper strip.

How do I find someone's ring size secretly?

Borrow a ring they wear on the same finger and size it on screen or against the printable circles, or measure its inner diameter in millimetres and enter it in Measure mode (Diameter). If you have to guess, the average is about US 6–7 for women and US 9–10 for men; round up rather than down.

What is a US size 7 ring in UK and EU sizes?

A US 7 ring has an inner diameter of about 17.3 mm and an inner circumference of 54.4 mm. That's a UK/Australian N½, EU/ISO 54, German 17.25, Japanese 14 and Swiss 14.5.

How do I convert UK ring sizes (letters) to US sizes?

UK sizes run from A to Z with half sizes, then Z+1 upwards. Each whole letter adds about 1.3 mm of circumference, roughly half a US size. Common conversions are UK J½ ≈ US 5, L½ ≈ US 6, N½ ≈ US 7, P½ ≈ US 8, R½ ≈ US 9 and T½ ≈ US 10. Pick UK in Convert mode to see any letter in every other system.

Should I size up for a wide band?

Yes. Bands wider than about 6 mm sit tighter because more metal touches the finger. Go up about half a size for 6–8 mm bands and three quarters of a size for 8 mm and wider. Choose the band width in Measure mode and it's added for you.

What if my knuckle is bigger than my finger?

Measure both the base of the finger and the knuckle. The ring has to pass over the knuckle, so choose a size between the two. Tick the knuckle option in Measure mode and the calculator sizes halfway towards your knuckle. Rings with sizing beads or hinged shanks can help too.

Are ring sizes the same for men and women?

Yes, ring sizes are unisex: a US 9 is the same size whoever wears it. Men's rings simply tend to be larger (about US 8–12) and wider, so the band-width adjustment matters more.

Are Japanese and EU ring sizes the same?

No. EU (ISO 8653) sizes are the inner circumference in millimetres, so EU 54 is 54 mm around. Japanese sizes use a separate scale where each size adds about one third of a millimetre of diameter; EU 54 is about JP 14. The calculator converts between them from the exact circumference.

Can a ring be resized?

Most gold, silver and platinum bands can be resized by a jeweller about two sizes up or down. Eternity bands, tension settings, tungsten, titanium, ceramic and many engraved or patterned rings usually can't, so confirm your size before ordering those.

Is this ring size calculator free and private?

Yes. It's free with no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser. Your measurements and screen calibration are stored only on your own device and are never uploaded.
