About this calculator
Use the Surface Area Calculator to find a solid's surface area. It reads your shape, side or radius, height or depth and width, computes the surface area with the surface-area formula for the solid, and shows the result clearly labelled. Because the calculation happens in your browser, your figures never leave the page and there is nothing to install.
It suits students, engineers and makers wanting the surface area fast, with no fuss. The page is free, runs in your browser, and stores nothing once you close the tab.
How to use
- Choose the shape you want.
- Fill in the dimensions for that shape.
- Press Calculate to find the surface area.

FAQ
Which shapes are supported?
It covers a cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, and rectangular box; pick the shape, then enter its dimensions.
Do I need to fill in every dimension?
No. Only the fields relevant to the chosen shape are used; the others are ignored.
How is a cone's surface area found?
It adds the curved surface and the base: πr(r + slant height), where the slant height comes from the radius and height.
Does the Surface Area Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Surface Area Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
Worked example
Surface area of a 3 m cube = 6 × 3² = 6 × 9 = 54 m².
