How to calculate concrete cylinder volume – concrete & masonry
This calculator finds the volume of a concrete cylinder from its diameter and height, the standard geometry calculation used for round columns, piers, and test specimens.
How the calculation works
Volume = π × (Diameter ÷ 2)² × Height.
Example
An 18-inch diameter, 6-foot tall pier: converting to feet (1.5 ft diameter), Volume = π × 0.75² × 6 ≈ 10.6 cubic feet, or about 0.39 cubic yards.
Frequently asked questions
How is Result calculated?
Result = pi() × pow([Diameter] ÷ 2, 2) × [Height] ÷ 27.
Is the Concrete Cylinder Volume – Concrete & Masonry free to use?
Yes — every calculator on Simple Calculator Tools is free, runs in your browser, and does not require an account.

Pro Tips for Concrete Cylinder Volume – Concrete & Masonry
- Convert all measurements to the same unit (typically feet) before calculating if you're working toward a cubic yard concrete order.
- Round your concrete order up slightly to account for form irregularities.
Common Concrete Cylinder Volume – Concrete & Masonry Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to convert inches to feet for one dimension while using feet for another, causing a large calculation error.
