Enter the height, width, and depth of the closet into the calculator to determine the closet capacity.

Closet Capacity Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the closet capacity.

CC = H * W * D

Variables:

  • CC is the closet capacity (cubic feet)
  • H is the height of the closet (feet)
  • W is the width of the closet (feet)
  • D is the depth of the closet (feet)

To calculate the closet capacity, multiply the height of the closet by the width and the depth. This will give you the total volume of the closet in cubic feet, which represents the maximum amount of space available for storing items. Please note that the actual capacity may be less due to the design of the closet and the organization of items within it.

What is a Closet Capacity?

Closet capacity refers to the amount of space available in a closet for storing items such as clothes, shoes, accessories, and other personal belongings. It is usually measured in cubic feet or by the number of items it can hold. The capacity of a closet can depend on various factors such as its size, design, the presence of shelves, rods, drawers, and the organization of items within it.

How to Calculate Closet Capacity?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Closet Capacity using the formula: CC = H * W * D.


  1. First, determine the height of the closet (H) in feet.
  2. Next, determine the width of the closet (W) in feet.
  3. Next, determine the depth of the closet (D) in feet.
  4. Finally, calculate the Closet Capacity (CC) using the formula CC = H * W * D.
  5. After inserting the values for H, W, and D into the formula, calculate the result.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Height of the closet (H) = 6 feet

Width of the closet (W) = 3 feet

Depth of the closet (D) = 2 feet
