About the Cubic Yard Calculator

This calculator converts any rectangular volume into cubic yards, the unit most bulk construction materials — soil, mulch, fill dirt, sand or debris — are bought and hauled by. Just enter the length, width and depth of the area you're filling or excavating.

Formula: Cubic Feet = Length × Width × Height; Cubic Yards = Cubic Feet ÷ 27

Most bulk material suppliers and dumpster/haul-away services price by the cubic yard, so this conversion helps you order the right amount or compare quotes. Round up to the nearest quarter yard when ordering delivery.
