Ryanair's standard cabin bag size is 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm. If your bag is 1cm larger in any dimension, you'll be required to check it in at the gate, which costs £25/€30. So, if possible, make sure your cabin bag adheres to the size restrictions!

So, how strict are they about check-in luggage? It depends, is the answer. Ryanair has a 10kg weight limit for check-in bags, but they are frequently willing to let passengers go over by a few kilos. If your bag is significantly overweight, they may charge you an additional fee.
If your suitcase is just slightly over the weight limit, some airlines are pretty lenient and won't charge you anything. You should always visit your airline company's website or call them to know their policy on this matter. The fees and baggage allowances vary drastically for different airlines.
Each passenger is permitted to check-in up to 2 bags (each bag is permitted a maximum weight of 44lb/20 kg) subject to the payment of the applicable checked baggage fees.
Given the penalty for being overweight, figure the cost of a checked bag into the price and compare from there. What's the point? RyanAir CAN weigh carryons and CAN measure size. If they catch you with something over 10kg, or oversized, they CAN make you pay to check it.

If your carry-on is oversized (and doesn't physically fit inside the overhead compartments) or you encounter a strict airline employee, they will ask you to check it in at the gate. What is this? Most commonly, gate-checking luggage is offered at no extra cost, but it depends on the airline.
