Pool Volume Calculator
Calculate pool volume in US gallons by shape — rectangle, round, oval, kidney, or freeform — with shallow/deep depth averaging. Shows the formula. No login.
How this is calculated
Volume is the pool's top-face area multiplied by the average water depth, converted to US gallons with the identity 1 ft³ of water = 7.48 gallons. Variable-depth pools use the mean of the shallow and deep ends; leave the deep end blank for a constant-depth pool.
avgDepth = (shallow + deep) / 2 (deep blank ⇒ avgDepth = shallow)
rectangle: L × W × avgDepth × 7.48
round: π × (diameter/2)² × avgDepth × 7.48
oval: L × W × (π/4) × avgDepth × 7.48
kidney: 0.45 × (Width A + Width B) × Length C × avgDepth × 7.48
freeform: Σ (part area × avgDepth × 7.48)
liters = gallons × 3.785411784
cubic ft = gallons / 7.48
fill cost = (gallons / 1000) × water rate
We use π = 3.14159 and the 7.48 gal/ft³
constant. Some calculators round to 7.5, landing about 0.27% higher — the
gap is purely the constant. The kidney 0.45 factor is the
standard industry area approximation, and the oval uses the full-axes
L × W × π/4 convention. Results are planning/dosing estimates,
not engineering or structural-survey volumes.
