Cubic Yard Calculator
Calculate cubic yards from length, width and depth while entering dimensions in familiar U.S. or metric units.

Volume
—
For purchased materials, allow for compaction, waste and the supplier’s ordering increments where relevant.
How it works
The calculator multiplies length × width × depth and converts the resulting volume to cubic yards, cubic feet and cubic meters.
volume = length × width × depthWorked example
A 12 ft × 10 ft area at 6 in deep is 60 ft³, which is about 2.22 yd³.
Assumptions
- The project is treated as a rectangular prism with a uniform depth.
Limitations
- Material-specific settlement, compaction and waste are not added by this general volume converter.
