Your transmission shifts according to the speed you are traviling.

Do bigger tires effect the speedometer How do you calculate the difference I had 29.5 inch tires and now have 33 inch tires?

Larger tires will affect the speedometer. There may not be a large difference in your application, but there will be a difference. You may be reading 45mph, and really be going 48mph. the worst problem will be in your odometer after a few thousand miles. your odometer will be WAY off once you have traveled a few K miles. I would suggest going to a local transmission shop to have your speedo re-calibrated for the larger tires. If you go much larger than that, check with your local mechanic on how well your transmission will be able to turn such a large tire. you may need to be re-geared.

How does tire size affect the speedometer in a car?

The speedometer in a car runs based off the speed of the transmission. The gears in the transmission spin at a known rate for the speed the vehicle is traveling at. The faster the gears spin the more the speedometer goes up. If a person replaces stock tires with larger tires, then the tires will spin slower, which will cause the speedometer to read at a value that is less than the actual speed.
