Volume conversion without guesswork
Calculate a rectangular or cylindrical volume from real dimensions and see the same result in cubic meters, cubic feet, cubic yards and liters.
The tool is useful for tanks, rooms, excavations, packages and material quantities. Use consistent finished dimensions and multiply by quantity for repeated objects.
Volume formulas
Rectangular volume = length × width × height. Cylinder = π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × height.
Worked example
A box-shaped space measuring 2 m × 1.5 m × 0.8 m has a volume of 2.4 m³, equal to about 84.76 ft³, 3.14 yd³ or 2,400 liters.
Measurement notes
- All dimensions must represent the same internal or external boundary.
- Irregular shapes should be divided into simpler solids.
- The calculation is geometric and does not account for usable capacity or displacement.
Frequently asked questions
Is a cubic yard the same as a yard?
No. A yard measures length; a cubic yard measures volume. One cubic yard equals approximately 0.7646 cubic meters.
How many liters are in one cubic meter?
One cubic meter contains exactly 1,000 liters.
Can I calculate an irregular volume?
Split it into rectangular or cylindrical sections, calculate each section and add the results.
