How to Use This Calculator

Formula Explained

The calculator uses the industry-standard formula:

Cubic Yards = (Length × Width × Thickness/12) / 27
  • • Length and Width are measured in feet
  • • Thickness is measured in inches (divide by 12 to convert to feet)
  • • Divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards
  • • Add 7.5% safety margin for spillage and inconsistencies
