📖 Overview
Estimate a wearable belt size from your real waist measurement instead of guessing from pant labels.
Add fit allowance to choose snug, standard, or relaxed wear.
Use brand offset to account for sizing quirks and where you prefer the buckle hole to land.
The calculator returns both exact and nearest standard belt sizes for fast shopping decisions.
