What is a cubic yards calculator?
Volume calculations are needed for almost every construction and landscaping project — concrete slabs, gravel driveways, topsoil for raised beds. This calculator converts length × width × depth into cubic yards, cubic feet, and cubic metres, and estimates the weight based on the material.
How to calculate cubic yards
Convert all measurements to yards, then multiply length × width × depth. There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard.
Enter dimensions
Set your unit (feet, metres, yards, or inches), then enter length, width, and depth.
Select material
Pick the material to get an estimated weight in tonnes and kg.
Use results
Order with 10% extra to account for compaction and waste.
Volume formula
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 0.7646 cubic metres. To convert feet to yards, divide by 3. To convert metres to yards, multiply by 1.0936.
