Find the volume of a cylinder from its base radius and height. The volume equals the circular base area times the height, or pi times the radius squared times the height, so a radius of 3 with a height of 10 holds about 282.74 cubic units. This calculator also returns the total surface area, which combines the two circular ends and the curved side wall, computed as two pi r squared plus two pi r h. Cylinders describe cans, pipes, tanks, mugs and columns, so quick volume answers help with capacity, filling and material estimates. If you only have the diameter of the base, halve it to get the radius first. Enter the radius and height in a consistent unit and the volume returns in that unit cubed while the surface area is in the unit squared. All math is computed locally in your browser at full precision, and the volume copies with one click.

How to use Cylinder Volume Calculator

  1. Enter the radius.
  2. Enter the height.
  3. Read the volume and surface area.

Frequently asked questions

How is the volume of a cylinder found?

The volume is pi times the radius squared times the height, the base area times the height.

How is the surface area calculated?

It adds the two circular ends and the curved side, giving 2 pi r squared plus 2 pi r times the height.

Can this find a tank volume?

Yes. For an upright cylindrical tank, enter its radius and height to get the internal volume.

What is Cylinder Volume Calculator?

Find the volume of a cylinder from its base radius and height. The volume equals the circular base area times the height, or pi times the radius squared times the height, so a radius of 3 with a height of 10 holds about 282.
