  1. Enter belt size.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.

How it is calculated

Length in cm = inches × 2.54. The label = the nearest multiple of 5 cm, so 36 = 91.44 cm = 90.

Example

Inputs: Belt size = 38 in. Result: Size label in cm: 95 cm; Exact length: 96.52 cm; Matching pants waist: 36 in.

Limits and caveats

  • Rounding to 5 cm follows Italian and luxury brand charts; some German shops label longer numbers.
  • The matching pants waist assumes belt = waist + 2 in.

Questions about this tool

How many cm is a 34 belt?

It is 86.36 cm long and labeled 85 on belts sized in cm.

Why 85 and not 86?

Belts sized in cm come in 5 cm steps, and 86.36 is closest to 85.

Is the belt size its full length?

No, it is the distance from the buckle fold to the middle hole; the full strap is longer.
