About Volume Calculator
Volume Calculator finds the space inside common 3D shapes and shows the formula used. It supports cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres, cylinders, cones, pyramids, prisms, ellipsoids, capsules, and frustums.
How to Use
Select a shape, unit, and enter the dimensions requested for that shape.
- Choose one of the supported geometric shapes.
- Use the diagram labels to match each visible dimension, then choose a length unit and enter its value.
- Calculate the volume and review common cubic-unit conversions.
Examples
-
