How to calculate grain bin capacity – farming & agriculture
This calculator finds the volume of grain stored in a cylindrical bin from its diameter and grain height, using a standard bushel conversion factor.
How the calculation works
Capacity = π × (Diameter ÷ 2)² × Height × 0.8036, where 0.8036 converts cubic feet to bushels.
Example
A 30-ft diameter bin with grain 20 ft deep: π×225×20×0.8036 ≈ 11,347 bushels.
Frequently asked questions
How is Result calculated?
Result = pi() × pow([Bin diameter] ÷ 2, 2) × [Grain height] × 0.8036.

Pro Tips for Grain Bin Capacity – Farming & Agriculture
- This calculates the volume of a cylindrical bin only — bins with a conical bottom or peaked top need additional volume calculated separately.
- The 0.8036 conversion factor is specific to converting cubic feet to bushels; confirm you want bushels rather than a raw cubic-foot volume.
Common Grain Bin Capacity – Farming & Agriculture Mistakes to Avoid
- Using this cylinder-only formula for a bin with a significant conical bottom or peaked top without adding that additional volume separately.
