cubic yards calculator
Find volume from length, width and depth.
Formula
V = length × width × depth × (1 + allowance/100)
Length: 12 ft · Width: 9 ft · Depth: 12 in · Cubic meters ≈ (12 ft × 0.3048 m/ft)×(9 ft × 0.3048 m/ft)×(12 in × 0.0254 m/in)×(1+(5)÷100) · Cubic yards ≈ (3.211130404)÷0.9144^3 · Cubic feet ≈ (3.211130404)÷0.3048^3
How to use
- Measure the rectangular area.
- Enter depth and any allowance.
- Read the volume in three units.
Examples
- 3 × 3 × 3 feet = 1 yd³ = 27 ft³.
