Formula
The Fluid Pressure at Depth Calculator uses the formula:
Pressure = Fluid density × Gravity × Depth
Worked example
For example, with fluid density of 1,000 kg/m³, gravity of 9.81 m/s² and depth of 10 m, the pressure is 98,100.00.
| Fluid density | 1,000 kg/m³ |
|---|---|
| Gravity | 9.81 m/s² |
| Depth | 10 m |
| Pressure | 98,100.00 |
|---|---|
| In kilopascals | 98.10 |

Frequently asked questions
Multiply density, gravity and depth: P = ρgh. Water 10 m deep gives about 98,100 Pa, or 98 kPa.
No. Hydrostatic pressure depends only on depth, density and gravity, not the container's shape.
This is the pressure from the fluid alone. Add atmospheric pressure for the absolute pressure.
Deeper points support the weight of all the fluid above them, so pressure increases linearly with depth.
