Roughly 14 billion light years.
Yes. It is 13.7 billion light-years in radius in light travel distance according to Ned Wright's Cosmology calculator.
This is an area of active research... meaning, nobody really knows. The visible Universe has a radius of about 46 billion light-years. According to the "inflation" theory (basically, the modern version of the Big Bang theory), the total size of the Universe MIGHT be millions or billions of times bigger.

What?!! Radius cannot be measured in Newtons!

My universe is believed to have a radius of approx 47 billion light years. How big is yours?
The universe is around 70% dark energy (a.k.a. empty space). The rest is mostly dark matter, with a few percent for ordinary matter. That is the current scientific model.
The Big Bang is the name of an explosion which is believed to have taken place 13.8 billion years ago, and which created the universe as we know it. That explosion is still taking place, since the universe has never stopped expanding (and it is expected that it never will stop expanding, either). The radius of the Big Bang is therefore the same as the radius of the universe. The radius of the universe is thought to be roughly 14 billion light years. (Note that during the inflationary period, the universe expanded faster than the speed of light due to the creation of space, rather than the velocity of the matter involved.)
