Volume Calculator

Compute volume of boxes, cylinders, spheres, cones and tanks.

How to use this tool

  • Pick a shape (box, cylinder, sphere, cone, tank).
  • Enter dimensions in any unit.
  • Read the volume in multiple units.

How it works

Each solid uses its standard formula; volumetric results convert across liters, gallons and cubic units.

Tips

  • For an aquarium, buy the pump for the gross volume — decor displaces water.
  • Horizontal cylinder tanks need the fill-depth option for part-loads.

Limitations

Assumes regular geometric shapes and ignores wall thickness.

Frequently asked questions

How is cylinder volume found?

V = pi x r² x h. Same math works for pipes and tanks.

How do I get gallons or liters?

The tool converts the result into liters, gallons (US/UK), cubic feet and cubic meters.

Can I do partial tank levels?

For a horizontal cylinder you can enter the liquid depth for a partial-fill volume.
