What this calculator does
Ring size can be estimated from finger circumference or the inner diameter of a ring that already fits. Temperature, time of day and ring width can all affect comfort.
Formula used
Diameter is converted to circumference using pi. The calculator then finds the nearest size in a comparison table.
How to read the result
Wider bands often need a slightly larger size. For valuable jewellery, use this as a first check and confirm with a jeweller or a physical ring sizer.
Assumptions
- Uses millimetres.
- Returns nearest table match.
- Does not account for band width or finger swelling.
Sources and checks

Frequently asked questions
Should I measure at a particular time?
Measure when your hands are at a normal temperature. Cold can shrink fingers and heat can make them swell.
