Cubic Meter Calculator

Advanced cubic meter calculator for engineers contractors students and DIY makers. Enter length width and height in various units including meters centimeters millimeters feet and inches. Choose box or cylinder shape convert instantly to liters and cubic feet. Save your results as CSV or PDF easily. Works offline in modern browsers with responsive design.

Calculator Cubic meters · Liters · ft³ · in³

Tip: For cylinders, enter the diameter in the second field and height in the third field.


Formula used

Rectangular box: V = L × W × H

Cylinder: V = π × r² × h where r = diameter ÷ 2

Conversions:

  • 1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm = 3.28084 ft = 39.3701 in
  • 1 m³ = 1000 liters ≈ 35.3147 ft³ ≈ 61023.7441 in³
How to use
  1. Choose the shape: box or cylinder.
  2. Enter dimensions. If cylinder, use diameter for the second field and height for the third.
  3. Select a unit for each dimension.
  4. Set decimal places if needed and click Calculate.
  5. Review results and add them to the table when satisfied.
  6. Export your records using the CSV or PDF buttons.

Frequently asked questions

A cubic meter (m³) measures volume equal to a cube one meter on each side. It is commonly used for materials storage containers fluid capacity and space planning.

Yes. Choose a unit for length width or diameter and height independently. The calculator converts each to meters before computing volume.

Standard engineering factors are used: 1 ft = 0.3048 m and 1 in = 0.0254 m. You can adjust decimal places with the precision control.

For cylinders the second input represents diameter. The radius is half of the diameter which the formula uses to compute cross sectional area.

Yes. The PDF export includes all rows currently visible in the results table along with a header summary of the last calculation.

Use the Reset button to clear the form. To clear the table refresh the page or remove rows manually from the page markup as needed.
