How it works

Estimate basic hemispherical dome area and volume from diameter. Use the units shown in the calculator and review every assumption before using the result.

Formula

Radius = diameter ÷ 2; hemisphere area = 2πr²; volume = 2/3πr³.

Worked example

Try multiple diameters to compare material area and interior volume.

Important assumptions

This tool is designed for planning and comparison. Real-world prices, manufacturer ratings, building requirements, lender terms, electrical codes, tolerances, and product specifications can vary.
