A Monster 16 fl oz (473 ml) can is about 157 mm (≈6.19 in) tall and 66 mm (≈2.60 in) wide. That is almost exactly the size of a US dollar bill stood on its end: 6.14 in tall by 2.61 in wide. The 500 ml can sold in the UK and Europe is taller, about 168 mm (≈6.61 in), at the same 66 mm width.

Monster can sizes and dimensions
| Can size | Where sold | Height | Diameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 fl oz (473 ml) | US and Canada | 157.23 mm ≈ 6.19 in | 66 mm ≈ 2.60 in |
| 500 ml (16.9 fl oz) | UK and Europe | 168 mm ≈ 6.61 in | 66 mm ≈ 2.60 in |
| For comparison: 12 fl oz soda can | Standard US can | 122.22 mm ≈ 4.81 in | 66 mm ≈ 2.60 in |
| 24 fl oz and other sizes | Various | No supplier specification found, so no number is shown | |
These are the can makers’ published specifications for the standard 16 fl oz, 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) and 12 fl oz can types (Crown Holdings lists them at 157.23, 168 and 122.22 mm tall, all 66 mm in diameter). A 16 fl oz Monster is typically built on the standard 16 fl oz can type, so real cans should match to within a millimetre or two. We left out sizes with no verified specification rather than copy numbers from other sites, which often disagree with each other.
How big is a Monster can, really?
- One dollar bill: a 16 fl oz can is 157.23 mm tall, a bill is 6.14 in (≈156.0 mm) long, so the can is about 1.3 mm taller. The can’s 66 mm width is within 0.3 mm of the bill’s 2.61 in (≈66.3 mm) width.
- Compared with a soda can: a 16 fl oz Monster is as wide as a 12 fl oz soda can but 35 mm (≈1.4 in) taller (157.23 − 122.22 = 35.01 mm).
- The 500 ml can: 10.8 mm (≈0.43 in) taller than the 16 fl oz can, with the same diameter. That is why 500 ml cans are described as “tall”.
- Volume: 16 US fl oz is about 473.2 ml, because 1 US fl oz is exactly 29.5735295625 ml, so a 473 ml can and a 16 fl oz can are the same size.
- Per foot: one foot is exactly 304.8 mm, so four 66 mm cans (264 mm) fit side by side with 40.8 mm to spare. Five would need 330 mm.
