What this tool does
Estimate pool volume from entered measurements. Use actual water depth, not wall height. Kidney shapes are a rough 0.75 area approximation; irregular pools should be measured in sections.
How to use the Pool Volume Calculator
- Enter or select pool shape.
- Enter or select main length in ft.
- Enter or select main width in ft.
- Enter or select average water depth in ft.
- Enter or select l-shape extension length in ft.
- Enter or select l-shape extension width in ft.
- Read the calculated result; change any measurement to compare alternatives.
Formula
rectangle area=L×W; oval=πLW/4; kidney≈0.75LW; L-shape=main rectangle+extension; gallons=area×average depth×7.48052
- shape
- Pool shape
- length
- Main length (ft, before metric conversion)
- width

Result
- Estimated water volume15,148.05 gal
- Water volume (liters)57,341.61
Results explained
- Estimated water volume
- Estimated water volume from the formula above, expressed in gal before metric conversion. Use actual water depth, not wall height. Kidney shapes are a rough 0.75 area approximation; irregular pools should be measured in sections.
- Water volume (liters)
- Water volume (liters) from the formula above. Use actual water depth, not wall height. Kidney shapes are a rough 0.75 area approximation; irregular pools should be measured in sections.
