This tool helps you easily calculate the volume of an area in cubic yards.
How to Use This Calculator
To use the cubic yard calculator, follow these steps:
- 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 compute the result.
How It Calculates the Result
This calculator takes the length and width of the area in feet and the depth in inches. It converts the depth from inches to feet and then calculates the volume in cubic feet. Finally, it converts the volume from cubic feet to cubic yards because 1 cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet.
Limitations
Please note the following limitations:
- This calculator assumes all dimensions are accurately measured and entered.
- It only provides an estimate; actual material amounts may vary based on compaction, settling, and other factors.
- The calculator does not account for irregularly shaped areas.
