Penis Size Statistics (2026): The Complete Data
Last updated 2026 · Veale et al. 2015 (BJU International)
Every key penis-size statistic in one place, from the largest clinician-measured datasets — averages, percentiles, girth, volume, by country, and what partners prefer. Figures are cited and updated for 2026.
Key statistics at a glance
- The average erect penis is 13.1 cm (5.2 in) long and 11.7 cm (4.6 in) in circumference (Veale 2015, n=15,521).
- About 90% of men have an erect length between 10.4 cm (4.1 in) and 15.9 cm (6.2 in).
- The median erect length is 13.1 cm (5.2 in) — half of men are above it, half below.
- Only about 10% of men exceed 6 inches (15.2 cm) erect; roughly 1 in 400 exceeds 7 inches (17.8 cm).
- Average erect volume is about 142 ml.
- Micropenis (under ~9.3 cm / 3.7 in) affects roughly 0.6% of men.
- Average flaccid length is 9.2 cm (3.6 in) — and flaccid size barely predicts erect size.
- Reported national averages range from about 10 cm to 17.6 cm, but are self-reported and unreliable.

See the data, not just the averages
Three different views answer three different questions: where one measurement sits, how fast rarity changes, and how length and girth combine.
Scrub the measurement to see the percentile area grow in real time.
The jump from 6 to 7 inches is much larger than the ruler makes it look.
Explore where combinations sit around the clinical average.
Modelled from the published length and girth distributions; the study does not publish their joint correlation.

Was zählt als groß?
If you measure 6 inches (15.2 cm) erect, you are the one yellow figure: about 10 men would be longer and 89 shorter.
Penis size percentiles (erect length)
Modelled as a normal distribution from Veale 2015 (mean 13.12 cm, SD 1.66 cm for length). Read any row as: this percentile of men measure at or below this size.
| Percentile | Meaning | Erect length | Erect girth |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5th | Only 5% are smaller | 10.4 cm / 4.1 in | 9.9 cm / 3.9 in |
| 10th | Bottom 10% | 11.0 cm / 4.3 in | 10.3 cm / 4.0 in |
| 25th | Lower quarter | 12.0 cm / 4.7 in | 10.9 cm / 4.3 in |
| 50th | Median — dead average | 13.1 cm / 5.2 in | 11.7 cm / 4.6 in |
| 75th | Upper quarter | 14.2 cm / 5.6 in | 12.4 cm / 4.9 in |
| 90th | Bigger than 9 in 10 men | 15.2 cm / 6.0 in | 13.1 cm / 5.1 in |
| 95th | Top 5% | 15.9 cm / 6.2 in | 13.5 cm / 5.3 in |
| 99th | Top 1% | 17.0 cm / 6.7 in | 14.2 cm / 5.6 in |
Penis size by country
Reported national averages for erect length (entertainment-grade — see the disclaimer). Alle Länder im Ranking.
Unweighted global average of national figures: 14.1 cm. Die Länderdurchschnitte stammen aus uneinheitlichen Studien — viele beruhen auf Selbstauskünften — und sind nicht national repräsentativ. Betrachte sie als grobe Schätzwerte zur Unterhaltung, nicht als klinische Fakten.
What size do women prefer?
From Prause et al. 2015, which had women choose among 3D-printed models rather than recall numbers — a far more reliable method than surveys.
| Erect length | Erect girth | |
|---|---|---|
| One-time partner | 16.3 cm (6.4 in) | 12.7 cm (5.0 in) |
| Long-term partner | 16.0 cm (6.3 in) | 12.2 cm (4.8 in) |

Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is the average penis size?
The average erect penis is 13.1 cm (5.2 in) in length and 11.7 cm (4.6 in) in circumference, based on clinician-measured data from up to 15,521 men (Veale et al. 2015).
What is a normal penis size?
Normal is a wide range: about 90% of men measure between 10.4 cm (4.1 in) and 15.9 cm (6.2 in) erect. Anything in that band is statistically normal.
Is 6 inches big?
Six inches (15.2 cm) is above average. Only about 10% of men exceed it, so it sits around the 90th percentile.
What percentage of men are over 7 inches?
Roughly 1 in 400 men — under half a percent — exceeds 7 inches (17.8 cm) erect.
