Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about formulas, units, valid measurements, examples, copying, and private in-browser history.

Which shapes are supported?

The Volume Calculator supports rectangular prism, cube, cylinder, sphere, and cone modes.

What units should I use?

Use the same length unit for every measurement. The calculator reports volume in cubic units, such as cm^3 or in^3.

What formula does cylinder volume use?

Cylinder volume uses V = pi r^2 h, where r is radius and h is height.

What formula does cone volume use?

Cone volume uses V = pi r^2 h / 3, which is one third of a cylinder with the same radius and height.

Can I calculate surface area here?

This tool is for cubic volume. Use the Surface Area Calculator when you need the outside area of a solid.

Is my volume history private?

Yes. Recent volume answers stay only in the current browser tab while you use the page. They are not sent to a server.
