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

Oven Capacity Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the oven capacity.

OC = W * D * H

Variables:

  • OC is the oven capacity (cubic feet)
  • W is the width of the oven interior (feet)
  • D is the depth of the oven interior (feet)
  • H is the height of the oven interior (feet)

To calculate the oven capacity, multiply the width of the oven interior by the depth of the oven interior, then multiply the result by the height of the oven interior. The result is the oven capacity in cubic feet, which indicates how much food or the size of the cooking vessel that can be accommodated at a time.

What is an Oven Capacity?

Oven capacity refers to the amount of space available inside an oven for cooking. It is typically measured in cubic feet and determines how much food or the size of the cooking vessel that can be accommodated at a time. Larger oven capacities are beneficial for cooking larger meals, such as holiday dinners, while smaller capacities may be sufficient for everyday cooking needs.

How to Calculate Oven Capacity?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Oven Capacity.


  1. First, determine the width of the oven interior (W) in feet.
  2. Next, determine the depth of the oven interior (D) in feet.
  3. Next, determine the height of the oven interior (H) in feet.
  4. Next, gather the formula from above = OC = W * D * H.
  5. Finally, calculate the Oven Capacity (OC).
  6. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

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

width of the oven interior (W) = 2

depth of the oven interior (D) = 3

height of the oven interior (H) = 4
