Calculate cubic metres from dimensions in metric or imperial units

A cubic metres calculator determines the volume of a rectangular space from length, width, and height. It accepts measurements in metres, centimetres, feet, or inches and converts the result to litres, cubic feet, and cubic yards for cross-system comparison.

How cubic metres are calculated

Multiply the length, width, and height of the space in metres to get the volume in cubic metres. If the measurements are in centimetres, divide each by 100 first. If in feet, multiply each by 0.3048 to convert to metres.

One cubic metre equals 1,000 litres, 35.315 cubic feet, or 1.308 cubic yards. These conversions are useful for international shipping, material ordering, and tank capacity.

Cubic metres = Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m)

Multiply all three dimensions in metres to get the volume in cubic metres.

Practical uses

Cubic metres are the standard volume unit in international shipping (CBM), concrete ordering in metric countries, and water volume calculations. Knowing the cubic metre volume lets you compare material quantities, container capacity, and storage requirements consistently.

Frequently asked questions
