Use this soil calculator to easily find out how many cubic feet of soil you need for your project.
Soil Calculator Instructions
This soil calculator helps you determine the volume of soil needed in cubic feet. Simply input the length, width, and depth of the area you wish to fill with soil, and click “Calculate” to get the result. The result will appear in the “Result” box in cubic feet.
How to Use
- Enter the length of the area in feet in the “Length” field.
- Enter the width of the area in feet in the “Width” field.
- Enter the depth of the area in feet in the “Depth” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
The result will be calculated and displayed in the “Result” box in cubic feet.
How it Calculates
The calculator multiplies the length by the width by the depth to obtain the volume in cubic feet. The formula used is:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth
Limitations
This calculator assumes that all inputs are in feet and that the calculations are for a rectangular area. Ensure that the input values are accurate and in the correct units for proper results. The result is rounded to two decimal places for better readability.
