Cubic Yard Calculator

Convert length, width, and height in feet into cubic yards — for any bulk material.

How Does This Calculator Work?

The calculator multiplies length × width × height to get cubic feet, then divides by 27 (the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard).

A general-purpose volume calculator for any material sold by the cubic yard — soil, sand, mulch, gravel, or concrete — when you know the space's dimensions in feet.

Example Calculation

Soil Delivery Example

A 10 ft × 10 ft bed, 0.5 ft (6 in) deep.

(10×10×0.5)/27 ≈ 1.85 cubic yards.

Frequently Asked Questions

My depth is in inches, not feet — what do I do?

Divide your depth in inches by 12 to convert to feet before entering it (e.g. 6 inches = 0.5 feet), or use our Concrete, Mulch, or Gravel calculators, which accept inches directly.
