Calculate size of Object in Java

You can use the java.lang.instrumentation package.

It has a method that can be used to get the implementation specific approximation of object size, as well as overhead associated with the object.

The answer that Sergey linked has a great example, which I'll repost here, but you should have already looked at from his comment:

import java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation;

public class ObjectSizeFetcher {
    private static Instrumentation instrumentation;

    public static void premain(String args, Instrumentation inst) {
        instrumentation = inst;
    }

    public static long getObjectSize(Object o) {
        return instrumentation.getObjectSize(o);
    }
}

Use getObjectSize:

public class C {
    private int x;
    private int y;

    public static void main(String [] args) {
        System.out.println(ObjectSizeFetcher.getObjectSize(new C()));
    }
}

Look into https://github.com/DimitrisAndreou/memory-measurer.
Guava uses it internally, and ObjectGraphMeasurer is especially straightforward to use out-of-the-box, without any special command-line arguments.

import objectexplorer.ObjectGraphMeasurer;

public class Measurer {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Set<Integer> hashset = new HashSet<Integer>();
    Random random = new Random();
    int n = 10000;
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
      hashset.add(random.nextInt());
    }
    System.out.println(ObjectGraphMeasurer.measure(hashset));
  }
}
