The simplest, most intuitive, and most accurate way to find the right wire size for your job. Perfectly suited for most DC applications up to 60 volts.
WireSizer is the fast, accurate, and easy-to-use DC wire size calculator for choosing the correct wire gauge every time.
Simply select your DC voltage, current, and total circuit length with flips of your finger. No keyboard required. WireSizer instantly calculates the correct wire gauge for the Voltage Drop percentage you need.
WireSizer is ideal for:
• Boats and marine electrical systems
• RVs, trucks, and cars
• Radios and electronics
• Solar power and battery-based DC systems
• Any low-voltage DC system up to 60 VDC
Suitable for both professionals and DIY users.
WireSizer automatically calculates the minimum wire size required for your circuit (assuming copper wire), taking Voltage Drop into account for installation and temperature conditions. Results are checked against current-carrying capacity (ampacity) limits to prevent using unsafe undersized wire.
Supported values:
• Voltage up to 60 VDC
• Current up to 500 amps
• Total circuit length up to 600 feet or 200 meters
• Voltage Drop from 1 to 20 percent
• AWG wire from 4/0 through 18 gauge
• SAE wire from 4/0 through 18 gauge
• Metric wire from 0.75 mm² through 92 mm²
WireSizer allows you to fine-tune calculations based on real-world installation conditions:
• Engine compartment or other high-temperature environments
• Sheathed, bundled, or conduit-run wire
• Wire insulation ratings from 60°C to 200°C
WireSizer also includes a Materials List so you can record and review all of your wire selections in one place.
WireSizer calculation results meet ABYC E-11 specifications, the marine standard and a practical guideline for other DC systems, when standard wiring practices are followed. ABYC specifications meet or exceed NEC requirements where applicable and correspond to ISO/FDIS standards.
WireSizer works without an internet connection and contains no ads.
Not for use with AC circuits.
WireSizer will cost you less than the wire scraps you probably throw away at the end of the day.
I use this app all the time! Would use it even more if it could support higher voltages. I’d like to see at least 150vdc, and 240vac. Thanks for the useful tool!
Developer Response
The latest version now allows voltage up to 60 volts DC. Calculating wire sizes for higher voltages requires taking into account some additional factors to do properly (which many voltage drop calculators neglect). We are planning on investigating the feasibility of this in the future. Thanks for the review!
Simple, ABYC-based and by far the best

It’s so nice having a professional app that does its job and does not get bogged down with bells and whistles: The app only has one page! I have used WireSizer daily for years because it’s quick and gives the critical voltage drop information needed to choose correct wire size, while being entirely interactive: Spin gauge, amperage or length wheels and the results are instantly updated, making decisions easy and quick.
Easy to use and accurate

I am a Marine Engineer and I use this app at my desk and in the field to run “how to” calculations to determine the wire size required for a particular voltage, load current and circuit run. The spinner wheels make it very easy to enter the data and the drill down that is available when the results tapped is an excellent bonus. My favorite wire sizing app.
Works well, some limitations
solar installs
Overall it’s a very good tool. I use it to size DC wires runs for solar. I have verified accuracy with manual calculations of voltage drop. It’s limited to 50vdc maximum so works well for up to 48vdc battery banks but can’t use it for solar panels in series as voltage exceed 50v limit.
Developer Response
The latest version of WireSizer now supports up to 60 VDC. Suitable for charging systems (and solar) for 48vdc battery systems. Thanks for the review!
