Pyramid Volume Calculator
Enter the base area and height of a pyramid to calculate its volume.
Pyramid Volume Calculator
Calculate the volume of a pyramid (of any base shape) from its base area and height.
This calculator provides an estimate for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional financial, mechanical or engineering advice.
A pyramid's volume is always one-third of its base area times its height, regardless of the shape of the base — the same relationship that makes a cone one-third of its enclosing cylinder.
Example
- With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Pyramid Volume ≈ 120.00.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula?
Volume = (1/3) × Base Area × Height, where height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex.
Does the base shape matter?
No — this formula works for a pyramid with any base shape (square, rectangular, triangular, or any polygon), as long as you know the base's area and the pyramid's perpendicular height.
