About the Circle Equation Calculator
Write the standard and general form equation of a circle from its center and radius, or from center and a point on it.
Also known as: equation of a circle, circle standard form, center radius form, (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2.
How to use this calculator
- Enter center x (h), center y (k), also know and the other fields.
- The result updates instantly as you type — press Calculate (or Enter) at any time.
- Review the breakdown shown under the main result.
- Use Copy result or Share to save the answer or send a link with your inputs.
Formula
(x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²
Worked example
Using the values pre-filled in the calculator above:
- Center x (h) = 2
- Center y (k) = -3
- Also know: Radius
- Radius = 5
the calculator returns:
- Standard form: (x − 2)² + (y + 3)² = 25
- General form: x² + y² − 4x + 6y − 12 = 0
- Radius: 5
- Area: 78.539816
