Calculate generic volume in cubic yards from rectangular dimensions, known area and depth, circular areas, or a known volume. Compare cubic feet, meters, liters, extra allowance, optional ordering increments, and coverage.
One cubic yard is a cube measuring 3 feet on every side, so it contains 27 cubic feet. Shared conversion values also make 1 yd³ approximately 0.764554858 m³ or 764.554858 liters.
All inputs are normalized to cubic meters internally, then converted for display without rounding intermediate values.
V = length × width × depth × quantityV = area × depth × quantityV = π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × depth × quantityrecommended = base × (1 + extra % ÷ 100)area = volume ÷ depth20 × 10 ft at 6 in deep is 100 ft³, or about 3.7037 yd³.
500 ft² at 4 in deep is about 166.67 ft³, or 6.1728 yd³.
5 × 4 m at 0.1 m deep is 2 m³, converted to cubic yards by the shared unit engine.
Extra material is shown separately and never replaces the exact base calculation.
Rounding is optional and always upward to the selected increment; no supplier increment is assumed.
Weight depends on density. Use the concrete, gravel, mulch, topsoil, sand, or asphalt calculator when material properties matter.
Divide cubic feet by 27. The production result uses the shared conversion engine rather than a duplicated constant.
Area × depth requires compatible units. The shared length converter normalizes inch, foot, yard, millimeter, centimeter, and meter depths.
Coverage tables are generated from volume ÷ depth. One cubic yard covers 108 ft² at 3 inches deep; one cubic meter covers 20 m² at 5 centimeters deep.
Find volume from dimensions or area and depth, then convert the result to cubic yards.
There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard.
Multiply square feet by depth in feet, then divide cubic feet by 27.
One cubic yard covers 108 square feet at 3 inches deep.
The calculator uses the shared circle area and area-times-depth geometry.
One cubic yard is approximately 0.764554858 cubic meters.
Only when appropriate for your project. The default is zero and presets are conveniences, not recommendations.
No. Weight depends on material density; use a material-specific calculator.
