Pyramid Volume Calculator
Calculate pyramid volume using either base area and height, or square-base side length and height.
Formula:
V = 1/3 × base area × height

How it works
The volume of any pyramid is one-third of the product of its base area and height.
- General formula: V = 1/3 × B × h
- Square base: B = s², so V = 1/3 × s² × h
This page supports both direct base-area input and square-base input for convenience.
Examples
- Base area = 36, height = 10 → volume = 120
- Square side = 6, height = 10 → base area = 36 → volume = 120
- Square side = 4, height = 9 → another square pyramid example

FAQ
- What does this pyramid volume calculator compute?
It computes pyramid volume. You can enter base area directly or use square-base mode with side length and height.
- What formula is used for pyramid volume?
The formula is V = 1/3 × base area × height.
- What if I have a square pyramid?
In square-base mode, the calculator computes base area as side² and then uses the standard pyramid volume formula.
- Does this calculate surface area too?
This page focuses on volume and supporting base metrics. It does not calculate full pyramid surface area for all pyramid types.
- Are calculations stored?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
