This calculator helps you quickly estimate the amount of concrete you need in cubic yards for your project.
Concrete Cubic Yard Calculator
This calculator will help you determine the number of cubic yards of concrete you need for your project. Simply fill in the length, width, and depth of the area, and press “Calculate”.
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 the “Calculate” button to see the result in cubic yards.
How It Calculates
The calculator makes use of the following formula to compute the volume in cubic yards:
Volume (cubic yards) = (Length (feet) * Width (feet) * Depth (inches) / 12) / 27
The factor of 27 is used to convert cubic feet to cubic yards, as there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.
Limitations
This calculator assumes the area is a perfect rectangle and does not account for uneven depth or other irregularities in the area shape. It’s always good to add a margin of safety to ensure you have enough concrete.
