Calculate cubic yards, cubic feet, and cubic meters for your landscaping or construction project. Get accurate volume measurements and cost estimates for various shapes and materials.
A cubic yard is a unit of volume measurement equal to 27 cubic feet. Learn more about the historical development of the yard measurement and its standardization.
Calculate cubic yards volume for landscape material, mulch, fill, gravel, cement or containers. Enter dimensions in US units (inches or feet) or metric units (centimeters or meters) to calculate the cubic yards, cubic feet and cubic meters. Also calculate the cost of materials when you enter the price per cubic foot, price per cubic yard or price per cubic meter.
Enter measurements in US units or metric units. Calculate volume from your measurements in inches (in), feet (ft), yards (yd), centimeters (cm), or meters (m). You can also enter decimal values. For example, if you have one measurement that is 7'3" you can enter that as 7.25 feet (3"/12" = 0.25 ft). If you have a measurement of 245 cm you can also enter that as 2.45 m.
If you have an area in square feet you can still calculate cubic yards. In the calculator, select Rectangle. Enter your square feet in the Length field, and enter "1" in the Width field. Enter how deep you want the fill in the Depth field. Click "Calculate" and your answer will be shown in cubic yards.
Where ft² = square foot, ft³ = cubic foot, yd³ = cubic yard
