How to calculate cylinder volume
This calculator finds the volume of a cylinder from its radius and height.
How the calculation works
Volume = π × Radius² × Height.
Example
A radius of 3 and height of 10: π×9×10 ≈ 282.7 cubic units.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Cylinder Volume
- Make sure radius (not diameter) is used — if you have diameter, divide by 2 first.
- Keep radius and height in the same unit for a consistent volume result.
Common Cylinder Volume Mistakes to Avoid
- Using diameter directly in place of radius, which would produce a volume four times too large since radius is squared in the formula.
