How to convert cubic meters to liters

Water and gas meters, tank and room volumes: one cubic meter holds exactly 1,000 liters.

To convert cubic meters to liters, use L = m³ × 1000. One cubic meter equals 1,000 liters, and one liter equals 0.001 cubic meters.

Cubic meter (m³): SI unit of volume = 1,000 L. Liter (L): 1 dm³ = 1/1000 m³.

All volume units are on the volume converter.

Limitations

  • Results are rounded to the decimal places you choose; the calculation itself keeps full precision.

Frequently asked questions

How many liters are in a cubic meter?

1 m³ = 1,000 L. Multiply cubic meters by 1000 (or use L = m³ × 1000).

How do I convert cubic meters to liters?

Use L = m³ × 1000. For example, 1 m³ = 1,000 L and 10 m³ = 10,000 L.

How many liters are in a gallon?

A US gallon is 3.785 L; an imperial (UK) gallon is 4.546 L. Pick the right one in the converter — the difference is about 20%.
