Cube Volume Calculator

Calculate the volume of a cube. Free online calculator for finding cubic volume using side length. Convert between cubic meters, cubic feet, and other units.

Side Length

Cube Volume Formula

V = s³

where s = length of side

Real-world Examples

Storage Box

Side: 1 foot

Volume: 1 cubic foot (ft³)

Typical storage container

Moving Box

Side: 1.5 feet

Volume: 3.375 cubic feet (ft³)

Standard small moving box

Room

Side: 10 feet

Volume: 1000 cubic feet (ft³)

Small bedroom

Understanding Cubic Volume

Side length: 2 units

Volume: 8 cubic units

2 × 2 × 2 = 8

Side length: 3 units

Volume: 27 cubic units

3 × 3 × 3 = 27

Side length: 4 units

Volume: 64 cubic units

4 × 4 × 4 = 64

How to Calculate Cube Volume

To calculate the volume of a cube, multiply the length of one side by itself three times (cube it). Since a cube has equal sides, if you know the length of one side, you can easily find its volume using the formula V = s³.

Step-by-Step Guide

Measure the length of one side of the cube
Multiply this length by itself (square it)
Multiply the result by the length again (cube it)
The result is the volume in cubic units

Common Applications

Calculating storage space in boxes and containers
Determining room volumes for heating and cooling
Measuring material volumes in construction
Computing shipping volumes for logistics

Tips for Accurate Measurement

Ensure all measurements are in the same unit
Measure to the nearest practical decimal place
Double-check measurements for accuracy
Consider using metric units for easier calculation
