How to Calculate Bucket Volume in Imperial Units
Determine bucket capacity in gallons and fluid ounces by entering top diameter, bottom diameter, and height in inches.
Example: a standard 5-gallon bucket is about 12 inches across the top, 10.5 inches at the bottom, and 14.5 inches tall. A small 2-gallon pail is roughly 9.5 inches top, 8 inches bottom, and 10 inches tall.
Uses the truncated cone (frustum) volume formula for tapered bucket shapes.
