Calculate the volume and surface area of a box, cylinder, sphere, cone or pyramid. Converts to liters and gallons.

About the volume calculator

Volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional object. Choose a shape, enter the dimensions in one unit and you get volume, surface area and the equivalent in liters, gallons and cubic feet. This is handy for tanks, planters, pools and packaging.

Formula

Box = l × w × h. Cylinder = π r² h. Sphere = 4/3 π r³. Cone = 1/3 π r² h. Square pyramid = 1/3 s² h.
