Density Calculator

Calculate density from mass and volume with common metric and imperial outputs.

About the Density Calculator

This calculator divides mass by volume after converting both values to SI base units.

How to use it

  1. Enter mass and select its unit.
  2. Enter a volume greater than zero and select its unit.
  3. Calculate to compare density in three common unit systems.

Formula and logic

Density equals mass ÷ volume. The calculation first uses kilograms and cubic meters, then converts the result.

Example

A mass of 1 kg occupying 1 liter has a density of 1,000 kg/m³, equal to 1 g/cm³.

Notes

Measured density can vary with temperature, pressure, composition, porosity and measurement method.
