Bra Size Calculator Canada
Good news: there is no separate "Canadian" bra size system. Bras sold in Canada use US sizing — so the calculator below is preset to US, and your result is the size you will see on labels from Toronto to Vancouver.
Welcome to the Bra Size Calculator Canada. Enter your underbust and bust measurements and get an estimated bra size in the US-based sizing used across Canada. It takes less than a minute, accepts inches or centimeters, and offers Simple mode (two measurements) or Advanced mode (six measurements) for a more refined estimate.
Your result is an estimate and a starting point, never a guarantee of fit. Brands cut differently, so always check the manufacturer's own size chart — especially when ordering from UK or European labels, whose cup letters diverge from US letters above a DD.

Advanced mode uses three underbust and three bust measurements for a more refined estimate. Measuring guide.
Bra Sizing in Canada, Explained
Because Canada follows the US system, Canadian bra sizes work like this:
- The band. Bands are even numbers from 28 to 48, set by rounding your underbust measurement to the nearest even inch — 32, 34, 36 and so on.
- The cups. Cup letters run AA, A, B, C, D, DD, DDD, G, H and beyond, with each step representing roughly one more inch of difference between bust and band.
- Bilingual labels. In Quebec and on national packaging you will often see English/French labels, but the numbers and letters are the same US system — "34C" is "34C" in both languages.
- Cross-border shopping. Many Canadians order from UK or European stores. Cup letters match US sizing only up to DD; above that, convert — a US 34DDD is roughly a UK 34E, and a US 34G is roughly a UK 34F.
Canada Bra Size Chart (US Sizing)
The chart below shows the most commonly stocked sizes in Canada.
| Band | A | B | C | D | DD | DDD | G |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 30A | 30B | 30C | 30D | 30DD | 30DDD | 30G |
| 32 | 32A | 32B | 32C | 32D | 32DD | 32DDD | 32G |
| 34 | 34A | 34B | 34C | 34D | 34DD | 34DDD | 34G |
| 36 | 36A | 36B | 36C | 36D | 36DD | 36DDD | 36G |
| 38 | 38A | 38B | 38C | 38D | 38DD | 38DDD | 38G |
| 40 | 40A | 40B | 40C | 40D | 40DD | 40DDD | 40G |
Ordering From UK or European Brands
If you shop UK or EU labels from Canada, convert before you check out. Bands convert directly for UK brands (a 34 band is a 34 band); EU bands are in centimeters (an EU 85 band is roughly a US 34 band). For cups above DD:
| Canada / US | UK equivalent |
|---|---|
| 34DDD | 34E |
| 34G | 34F |
| 34H | 34FF |
| 36DDD | 36E |
| 36G | 36F |
These are close equivalents, not exact ones — brands vary, so confirm against the retailer's own chart.
Common Measuring Mistakes
- Hunting for a "Canadian size". There isn't one — Canada uses US sizing, so a 34C in Montreal is a 34C in New York.
- Ordering UK sizes without converting. A UK F is not a US F. Above DD, translate cup letters before ordering from British stores.
- Measuring over bulky clothing. Measure over a thin unpadded bra or a fitted top, with the tape level around your back.
- Ignoring sister sizes. If the cups fit but the band doesn't, try a sister size (for example, 36B instead of 34C) before giving up on a style — our sister size calculator finds them instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a separate Canadian bra size system?
No. Bras sold in Canada use US sizing — the same band numbers and cup letters you will find in American stores. There is no distinct Canadian size to convert to or from.
I wear a 34C in Toronto — what size am I in the US?
Also a 34C. Because Canada uses US sizing, your size is identical on both sides of the border.
What if I order from a UK brand?
Convert your cup letter above DD: a Canadian/US 34DDD is roughly a UK 34E, and a Canadian/US 34G is roughly a UK 34F. Band numbers stay the same. Always check the retailer's own chart.
Do bra labels differ in Quebec?
Packaging is often bilingual, but the size itself uses the same US numbers and letters — a 36D is a 36D whether the label reads in English, French, or both.
What should I do if I am between sizes?
Try both. Choose the band that feels comfortably snug on the loosest hook, then check the cups: smooth with no spilling and no gaping means you are close.
Why does the same size fit differently between brands?
Brands grade their patterns differently and fabrics stretch differently, so a 34D from one label can fit like a 34C or 34DD from another. Your calculated size is a starting point — the brand's chart has the final word.
How accurate is the Bra Size Calculator Canada?
It gives a reliable estimate using standard US sizing math, but no online calculator can guarantee a perfect fit. Use your result as a starting point, try bras on where you can, and adjust from there.
