Volume of a cylinder calculator
Enter the dimensions of a cylinder and read off its volume and surface area. Volumes convert to litres and gallons with the unit selector.
Volume
62.831 853m³
- Surface area
- 87.964 594
- Curved surface only
- 62.831 853
- Base area
- 12.566 371
Show the working
- Radius = 2
- Height = 5
- Volume = pi * 2^2 * 5 = 62.8319
- Surface area = 2*pi*2*(2 + 5) = 87.9646
- Curved surface only = 2*pi*2*5 = 62.8319
- Base area = pi*2^2 = 12.5664
Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

The formula
- volume = pi r^2 h
- total surface = 2 pi r (r + h)
Switch the volume unit to litres or US gallons to read the capacity directly.
