The Epoxy Resin Calculator is designed to help users determine the exact amount of resin needed for various projects. Whether you are coating a tabletop, filling molds, or creating art, the calculator adjusts for different shapes and sizes, providing precise mixing ratios. This tool is essential for both DIY enthusiasts and professional artisans to avoid waste and ensure the strength and clarity of the finished product.
Formula of Epoxy Resin Calculator
Calculating the volume of epoxy resin required depends on the shape of the surface you are working with. Here are the formulas for the most common shapes:
For flat surfaces (Rectangular or Square):
- Measure the length (L) and width (W) in centimeters (cm).
- Multiply length by width (L x W) to find the surface area.
- Choose your desired thickness (T) in centimeters.
- Multiply the surface area by the thickness (L x W x T) to determine the volume in cubic centimeters (cm³).
- Since 1 ml equals 1 cm³, this is also the volume in milliliters (ml).
For rounded surfaces (Cylinders):
- Measure the diameter (D) of the surface in centimeters (cm).
- Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius (R) (D / 2 = R).
- Use Pi (π), approximately 3.14159.
- Multiply Pi by the radius squared and the desired thickness (π x R² x T) to get the volume in cubic centimeters (cm³).
- Like flat surfaces, the result in cm³ is also the volume in milliliters (ml).
Conversion Table
The following table provides quick conversion factors and general terms frequently used in resin projects:

Example of Epoxy Resin Calculator
Let's calculate the amount of resin needed to coat a rectangular tabletop:
- Dimensions: 120 cm by 60 cm
- Desired thickness: 0.5 cm
- Volume = (120 x 60 x 0.5) = 3600 cm³ or 3600 ml of resin.
