Circle Calculator
Use this calculator to find a circle’s radius, diameter, circumference, and area when you know any one of those measurements. It is useful for geometry homework, landscaping, craft layouts, machining, cooking pans, and design work.
How to use this calculator
- Choose what you know: Radius, Diameter, Circumference, or Area.
- Enter the Value as a positive number.
- Read the calculated Radius, Diameter, Circumference, and Area.
The calculator keeps length units consistent. If the radius is in inches, circumference and diameter are in inches, and area is in square inches.
Circle formulas
The radius is the distance from the center to the edge. The diameter crosses the circle through the center.
diameter = 2 × radiuscircumference = 2 × π × radiuscircumference = π × diameterarea = π × radius²
For example, a circle with radius 5 has diameter 10, circumference about 31.4159, and area about 78.5398. For related geometry tools, see the square footage calculator, slope calculator, and scale converter calculator.
Tips for real projects
Round only at the end, especially for material estimates. For physical work, add tolerance for cutting, seams, edging, or waste.
