Box Volume Calculator

Find the geometric volume of a rectangular box or space from its length, width and height. Choose which space you are measuring, then enter all three dimensions in the same unit.

Enter the space to measure

Measure the length, width and height of the same rectangular space. Use internal measurements if you want the available interior space.

Measure width, length and depth / height consistently from the same box or packed carton.

More than one box? Use the Shipping Carton / CBM Calculator to add quantities or different carton sizes.

Changing units converts dimensions already entered.

Dimensions

How the calculation works

For a rectangular space, volume = length × width × height. The calculator converts the dimensions to metres before multiplying them, then shows the result in m³, litres and cm³.

Example: 30 × 20 × 10 cm = 6,000 cm³ = 6 L = 0.006 m³.

What the result does not tell you

Outside box dimensions describe the overall box. Inside dimensions describe available interior space. Neither measurement alone confirms a product will fit.

Box walls, inserts, cushioning, clearance, folding and product orientation can affect usable space. Check your actual packed product and packaging specification before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Use inside dimensions when you want to estimate available rectangular space. Use outside dimensions when you need the overall external volume. State which measurements you used when discussing packaging.
