What Belt Size Do I Need uses circumference where belt sits, buckle/fit allowance, hole spacing and the other configured measurements to return belt centre-hole position with a formula written specifically for this tool.
- Circumference where belt sits — Required
- Buckle/fit allowance — Required
- Hole spacing — Required
Belt centre-hole position
Enter the measurements above to calculate belt centre-hole position.
How the calculation works
V9 calculation: targetCentreHole=wearingWaist+buckleAllowance; recommendedCentreHole=round(targetCentreHole/holeSpacing)×holeSpacing. The result is reported as belt centre-hole position.
Worked example
Example: Circumference where belt sits = 86 cm; Buckle/fit allowance = 5 cm; Hole spacing = 2.5 cm. Result: Recommended Centre Hole = 90 cm; Target Centre Hole = 91 cm.
