The `box-sizing` property determines how the width and height of a widget are calculated.
## Syntax
```
box-sizing: [border-box|content-box];
```
### Values
| Values | Description |
|------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `border-box` (default) | Padding and border are included in the width and height. If you add padding and/or border the widget will not change in size, but you will have less space for content. |
| `content-box` | Padding and border will increase the size of the widget, leaving the content area unaffected. |
## Example
Both widgets in this example have the same height (5).
The top widget has `box-sizing: border-box` which means that padding and border reduces the space for content.
The bottom widget has `box-sizing: content-box` which increases the size of the widget to compensate for padding and border.
