On this calculator, and on every other I have tried, I get quite "incredible" results: My current bra size is EU 95A (US: 42A), and it fits perfectly. However, with my measurements of band size 102 cm and over bust 109 cm, the calculators propose typically C-cup, which definitely much too large for my development stage. Could it be that these calculators are optimized for genetic female anatomy, and bit off for male genetics, leading to larger distance between nipples (more "space" in between breasts? This is my still quite small boob - i.m.h.o. not anything close to "C"!

Hi Teddy,
Getting the right bra can be challenging at best. I have found that band and cup size vary depending brand. I have my favorite two brands and when I deviate from them I can't just grab one off the rack, I find it will either be too big with my breasts swimming around in the cups or too small with me spilling out everywhere and a band that's a bit too tight. So I go try them on.
If you have your favorite brand and it fits well then go with it, if you want to try something else definitely use the fitting room or even get a bra fitting from the expert running the shop or bra department. Trust me they don't care if you're male or female they want the sale and a return customer, because they know a good fitting bra is difficult to find.

I tried the calculator the bra that fits calc, I get 44D... even if I squeeze a little extra to reduce the cup as much as possible. I am thinking I have too much fat on my traps or something.
ABTF calculator is awesomely good, but it has a flaw that it doesn't know how to compensate for thick backs and wide upper chest. It counts a whole lot as breast which isn't as it only reads measurements. I've noted how the error is getting less and less as I've grown bigger and lost muscle on my back. Lately the error has completely gone or its maybe half a cupsize tops.
But then again, my problem is breast shape, very wide and tall root translates to very large cupsize by measurement, but it doesn't easily matach typical cup depths which tend to be narrower and deeper than what would fit me the best. My current bra has that exact problem and its only getting closer now that I'm outgrowing it so its getting annoying at the same people.
People on forum keep repeating that ABTF doesn't work, it does and it does it really well, but it doesn't understand shapes as its nothing but sex digits counted into a ratio that is called cup size. So for wide chest and wide upper back, you have to compensate downwards, some times even two or three sizes to fit. Anyone with narrow back and projected breasts will get more realistic results. Read the FAQ, it explains the typical calculation errors too.

makes sense to me, an A fits about right on the money.. I notice when I flatten my chest they project a significant amount more.
If I were the size I was in my late teens/early 20s (could fit in a size L tall with room to spare, probably was closer to 36 band back then), I am sure they would look completely different in comparison to my frame now (2xlt or 3xlt depending on the brand).
