About the Volume of a Cylinder Calculator
The volume of a cylinder is the base area multiplied by the height. Use it for tanks, pipes, cans and drums, and to work out how much liquid a cylinder holds. Enter the radius and the height in the same unit.
A cylinder with a radius of 5 and a height of 12 has a volume of about 942.48 cubic units.
Cylinder volume
Volume = π × radius² × height
Things to keep in mind
- 1,000 cubic centimetres equal 1 litre.
- Use the inside radius if you want the capacity.
- A cone with the same base and height has exactly one third of the volume.
