Belt Measurement Chart
A belt that fits closes on the middle hole, with room to loosen or tighten. The quickest rule is to buy one or two sizes up from your pants waist size — but measuring a belt you already own is even more reliable. This page gives both methods, size charts for men, women and kids, and a quick calculator.

The common rule is belt size = pants waist + 2 inches. Letter sizes vary a lot between brands, so use the number when you can.
Women’s belt size chart

|---|---|---|---|
| 0–2 | 24–26 | 26–28 in | XS |
| 4–6 | 27–28 | 29–30 in | S |

| 20–22 | 37–40 | 39–42 in | 1X–2X |
Women’s belts may be worn at the natural waist or on the hips, which changes the size needed — measure where you’ll wear it.
Kids’ belt sizes
| Age | Typical waist (in) | Belt size (in) |
|---|---|---|
| 2–4 | 19–21 | 20–22 |
| 4–6 | 21–22 | 22–24 |
| 6–8 | 22–24 | 24–26 |
| 8–10 | 24–26 | 26–28 |
| 10–12 | 26–27 | 28–30 |
| 12–14 | 27–29 | 30–32 |
Children vary widely; adjustable elastic belts or belts with extra holes last longer as they grow.
How to measure
- Existing belt: lay it flat and measure from the fold where the leather meets the buckle to the hole you use most.
- That number is your belt size; if you use the last hole, go one size up.
- Body: measure around your waist over your clothes where you wear the belt, and add about 2 inches.
- Pants: take your pants waist size and add 2 inches.
Don’t measure the belt’s full length including the buckle — that’s not how sizes are labelled.
Worked example
Someone who wears 34-inch-waist jeans adds 2 inches and looks for a size 36 belt — a men’s M in many brands. To double-check, they measure their favourite old belt from the buckle fold to the worn hole: 36 inches. They order a 36, which should fasten on the middle hole with two holes to spare either way.
Belt widths
| Width | Style |
|---|---|
| 1 in (25 mm) | Slim, dress trousers, women’s fashion |
| 1¼ in (32 mm) | Dress and business belts |
| 1½ in (38 mm) | Jeans and casual belts |
| 1¾ in (44 mm) | Work belts, heavy-duty and tool belts |
Check your belt loops: a 1½-inch belt won’t fit narrow dress-trouser loops.
