Hand size calculator
Use our hand size calculator to calculate accurate size and measurement values instantly.
Calculator
Analyze hand length and breadth against U.S. anthropometric reference values and estimate glove size from palm circumference.
Formula: Percentiles are interpolated between sex-specific 5th, 50th, and 95th percentile anchors from U.S. anthropometric survey data; glove size is mapped from hand length ranges.
What each field means
- Hand Length (in): Measure from the wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger.
- Length Unit: Enter a valid value for this field.
- Hand Breadth (in): Measure across knuckles (metacarpal heads), excluding the thumb.
- Breadth Unit: Enter a valid value for this field.
- Biological Sex: Enter a valid value for this field.
- Age (years): Adult references are strongest from late teens onward.
- Style of Glove: Enter a valid value for this field.
- Hand Circumference (in) (optional): Optional glove cross-check: wrap tape around your palm just below the knuckles (exclude thumb).
