This lumber calculator helps you quickly estimate the total volume of lumber you need for your project.
How to Use the Lumber Calculator
This lumber calculator helps you determine the total cost of your lumber purchase.
Simply input the length, width, and thickness of the lumber in feet and inches, respectively. Then, input the quantity of lumber pieces you need and the price per board foot. Once you click “Calculate,” the total cost will be displayed.
How It Calculates
The calculator uses the standard formula for calculating board feet:
Board Footage = (Length (ft) * Width (ft) * Thickness (in)) / 12
The total cost is then calculated by multiplying the board footage by the quantity and the price per board foot.
Limitations
Please ensure all input values are positive numbers. The calculator assumes all dimensions are exact and does not account for any potential waste or off-cuts.
