Volume Calculator

Pick a 3D shape, enter the dimensions you know, and calculate volume—or work backward from volume to a missing dimension.

OPTIONAL MASS

Turn volume into mass with density

Use this only when the material density is known. The geometry result stays unchanged.

Estimated mass24,000 kg
MIXED UNITS

Each dimension keeps its own unit

Enter a radius in inches and a height in centimetres if that is what you measured. Inputs convert once to metres before geometry is solved.

REVERSE SOLVE

Volume can be the known value

For algebraically safe cases, switch “Solve for” to a missing radius, height, side, axis, or other dimension instead of re-arranging the formula yourself.

Precision, conventions & privacy

Precision

Calculations use JavaScript double-precision arithmetic. Results that involve π or roots are numerical approximations and are not labelled as symbolic exact values.

Radii and dimensions

Radius fields expect radius, not diameter. The capsule’s “cylinder length” excludes the two hemispherical ends. The torus uses major radius from the centre of the tube to the centre of the ring.

Composite totals

Saved components preserve their underlying cubic-metre values so switching display units does not compound rounding error.
