Size of data after AES/CBC and AES/ECB encryption

I would like to know the size of data after AES encryption so that I can avoid buffering my post-AES data(on disk or memory) mainly for knowing the size.

I use 128 bit AES and javax.crypto.Cipher and javax.crypto.CipherInputStream for encryption.

A few tests performed with various input sizes show that, the post encryption size calculated as below is correct:

long size = input_Size_In_Bytes; 
long post_AES_Size = size + (16 - (size % 16));

But I am not sure whether the above formula is applicable for all possible input sizes.

Is there a way to calculate the size of data after applying AES encryption – in advance without having to buffer the encrypted data(on disk or memory) to know its post-encryption size?

long post_AES_Size = size + (16 - (size % 16));

cipherLen = (clearLen/16 + 1) * 16

what @zz-coder and @OP mentioned are same.

int(clearLen/16) + 1) * 16
= ((clearLen - clearLen % 16) / 16 + 1) * 16
= clearLen - clearLen % 16 + 16;
= clearLen + (16  - clearLen % 16)
