    Cylinder volume and surface area

    English search intent for a cylinder calculator expects a right circular cylinder solver, not only a single volume formula. This page calculates volume, base area, lateral area, total surface area, diameter, and axial-section values.

    r is radius and h is height.

    Total surface area includes the curved side and both circular bases.

    Use one length unit throughout a calculation. Linear outputs use that unit, surface areas use square units, and volume uses cubic units.
