Cylinder Volume Calculator

Calculate volume, total surface area, and lateral (curved) surface area of a cylinder.

About this calculator

The Cylinder Volume Calculator on NumberCals is a free, mobile-friendly tool for anyone needing to calculate volume, total surface area, and lateral (curved) surface area of a cylinder. Enter your values in the form below and the result is computed instantly — no sign-up, no installation, no waiting.

Formula used

V = π·r²·h; SA = 2π·r·(r+h); Lateral = 2π·r·h

What you'll need

  • Radius (e.g. 3)
  • Height (e.g. 10)

What you'll get

  • Volume
  • Total Surface Area
  • Lateral Surface Area (sides only)
Formula
V = π·r²·h; SA = 2π·r·(r+h); Lateral = 2π·r·h

Frequently Asked Questions

Total SA vs lateral SA? +

Lateral = the curved side only (e.g., the label on a can). Total = lateral + the two circular ends.
