Calculate a pool's surface area from the volume and depth of the pool using metric measurements.
This calculator will give you a reasonable estimate in square metres of your pool's surface area from the fill volume in litres and the average depth of the pool in metres.
Using imperial measurements? If your pool is measured in gallons and feet, use the Imperial Pool Surface Area Calculator.

Given:
The pool's surface area \(A\) in square metres is:
\[ A \;=\; \frac{V}{1000 \times D}\quad\bigl(\text{m}^2\bigr) \]
Explanation: Converting litres to cubic metres (divide by 1000), then dividing by the depth yields the surface area.
Suppose:
Step 1: Convert litres to cubic metres:
\[ \text{Volume in m}^3 = \frac{50{,}000}{1000} = 50\;\text{m}^3 \]
Step 2: Divide by the depth to find surface area:
\[ A = \frac{50\;\text{m}^3}{2.0\;\text{m}} = 25\;\text{m}^2 \]
Result: The pool's surface area is 25 m².
