Fill Dirt Calculator

This calculator helps you estimate the amount of fill dirt required for a project. Please enter the length, width, and depth of the area you need to fill.

How to Use:

Enter the length of the area in feet.
Enter the width of the area in feet.
Enter the depth of the area in inches.
Click on the Calculate button to get the result.

How it Calculates:

The calculator converts the depth from inches to feet and then calculates the volume in cubic feet using the formula:

Volume (cubic feet) = Length (feet) × Width (feet) × Depth (feet)

It then converts the volume from cubic feet to cubic yards using the conversion factor:

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet

Finally, the result is displayed in cubic yards.

Limitations:

This calculator assumes all inputs are positive numbers and that the area to be filled is a rectangular prism. It does not account for irregular shapes or varying depths. For more precise calculations, consult with a professional.
