Volume Formulas by Shape

Sphere

Volume of a sphere:
V=43ฯ€r3V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3
Use radius or diameter; d = 2r so
V=ฯ€d36V = \frac{\pi d^3}{6}

Cylinder

Volume of a cylinder:
V=ฯ€r2hV = \pi r^2 h
Base area ฯ€rยฒ times height.

Cone

Volume of a cone:
V=13ฯ€r2hV = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h
One-third of the cylinder with same base and height.

Cube

Volume of a cube:
V=a3V = a^3
Edge length cubed.

Rectangular Tank

Volume of a rectangular prism:
V=lwhV = lwh
Length times width times height.

Capsule

Volume of a capsule:
V=ฯ€r2h+43ฯ€r3V = \pi r^2 h + \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3
Cylinder plus full sphere (two hemispherical caps).

Spherical Cap

Volume of a spherical cap:
V=ฯ€h2(3Rโˆ’h)3V = \frac{\pi h^2(3R-h)}{3}
with ball radius R and cap height h. Provide any two of r, R, h to derive the third.

Conical Frustum

Volume of a frustum:
V=13ฯ€h(r12+r1r2+r22)V = \frac{1}{3}\pi h(r_1^2 + r_1 r_2 + r_2^2)
with top radius rโ‚, bottom radius rโ‚‚, height h.

Ellipsoid

Volume of an ellipsoid:
V=43ฯ€abcV = \frac{4}{3}\pi abc
with semi-axes a, b, c. Exact formula.

Square Pyramid

Volume of a square pyramid:
V=13a2hV = \frac{1}{3}a^2 h
One-third base area times height.

Volume Calculator FAQ

? How do I calculate volume of a sphere, cylinder, or cone?

Each shape has an exact formula. Sphere:
V=43ฯ€r3V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3
Cylinder:
V=ฯ€r2hV = \pi r^2 h
Cone:
V=13ฯ€r2hV = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h
Enter dimensions in any of 11 units (miles to angstroms). Results display in your unit cubed.

? What shapes can I find the volume of?

Sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular tank, capsule, spherical cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, and square pyramid. For sphere, radius or diameterโ€”the other auto-updates. For spherical cap, enter any two of r, R, and h.

? Is ellipsoid volume exact or approximate?

Ellipsoid volume is exact:
V=43ฯ€abcV = \frac{4}{3}\pi abc
(a, b, c = semi-axes). Unlike ellipsoid surface area, no approximation is needed.

? Can I use feet, inches, or meters?

Yes. Each dimension has its own unit selector: miles, yards, feet, inches, km, m, cm, mm, ยตm, nm, angstroms. Volume displays in that unit cubed (e.g. ftยณ, mยณ).
