Pyramid Volume Calculator


Calculate regular pyramid volume with V = base area x height / 3 for square and polygon bases. Reverse solve height or base dimensions.

Use this regular pyramid volume calculator to find the volume of a pyramid from its base area and height. It uses V = (1/3) x base area x height and works for square pyramids, triangular pyramids, and other regular polygon bases.

The reverse modes also help you find a missing height or base dimension from a known volume. That makes the calculator useful for geometry homework, construction layouts, container estimates, and any problem that uses a regular pyramid formula.

Pyramid Volume Calculator FAQ

What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid?

The formula is V = (1/3) x base area x height. This applies to square pyramids and other regular pyramids once you know the base area.

Does this calculator work only for square pyramids?

No. It can also be used for other regular polygon pyramids, as long as the correct base dimensions are provided for the selected mode.

Why is pyramid volume one-third of a prism with the same base and height?

A pyramid occupies one-third of the volume of a prism or box with the same base area and vertical height. That is why the formula includes the 1/3 factor.

Can I solve for a missing height or base dimension?

Yes. Reverse calculation can determine a missing height or base-related dimension when the pyramid volume and the remaining values are known.

When is a pyramid volume calculator useful?

It is useful for geometry homework, construction planning, architecture, packaging, molds, and any project involving square or regular polygon pyramid shapes.
