Enter the box length (in), the box width (in), and the box height (in) into the Box Volume Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Box Volume. 

Box Volume Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Box Volume. 

BV = BL * BW *BH
  • Where BV is the Box Volume (in^3)
  • BL is the box length (in) 
  • BW is the box width (in) 
  • BH is the box height (in) 

How to Calculate Box Volume?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Box Volume.

Example Problem #1

  1. First, determine the box length (in). The box length (in) is given as 3 .
  2. Next, determine the box width (in). The box width (in) is calculated as  4 .
  3. Next, determine the box height (in). The box height (in) is found to be 5.
  4. Finally, calculate the Box Volume using the formula above: 

BV = BL * BW *BH

Inserting the values from above yields: 

BV = 3 * 4 *5 = 60 (in^3)


FAQ

What units can be used with the Box Volume Calculator?

The Box Volume Calculator primarily uses inches (in) for length, width, and height to calculate the volume. However, if you’re calculating the volume of a box in different units, you’ll need to convert those measurements to inches or use a calculator that allows for different units of measurement.

Can the Box Volume Calculator be used for irregular-shaped boxes?

No, the Box Volume Calculator is designed for boxes with straight sides and right angles (rectangular or square boxes). For irregular-shaped boxes, you would need to use different methods or calculators specifically designed for those shapes.

How can I convert the box volume from cubic inches to another unit of volume?

To convert the box volume from cubic inches to another unit of volume, such as cubic feet, you can use a conversion factor. For example, to convert to cubic feet, you would divide the volume in cubic inches by 1728 (since there are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot). Other conversions may require different factors depending on the target unit.
