Circle Area Calculator

Reviewed by CalcMulti Editorial Team·Last updated: ·Geometry Hub

The area of a circle is A = πr², where r is the radius (the distance from the center to the edge). π (pi) ≈ 3.14159265. The formula tells you the number of square units that fit inside the circle.

You can calculate circle area from the radius, diameter (d = 2r), or circumference (C = 2πr). This calculator accepts any of the three inputs and converts automatically.

Example: a circle with radius 5 cm has area A = π × 5² = π × 25 ≈ 78.54 cm². The same circle has diameter 10 cm and circumference ≈ 31.42 cm.
