Enter length, width and depth to get cubic yards, cubic feet, estimated weight, and a 10 percent overage recommendation for any bulk material.
Ballpark, not gospel. This estimates volume and weight from the numbers you punch in — densities are typical values that change with moisture and compaction. Always confirm with your supplier before ordering or hauling.
Straight answers, no fluff. Then run your own numbers above.
Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide the total cubic feet by 27. If depth is in inches, divide the inches by 12 before using the formula.
The formula is length × width × depth in feet divided by 27. The result is cubic yards.
There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard. Multiply cubic yards by 27 to convert to cubic feet.
No. A yard is a length of 3 feet. A cubic yard is a volume: 3 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep, equal to 27 cubic feet.
Yes, most projects should include about 10 percent extra. This covers compaction, uneven ground, spillage, and small measuring differences.
