Calculate cubic yards from your measurements
Enter area and fill depth to find cubic yards for soil, gravel, mulch, and more.
Enter your measurements
A cubic yard measures volume, not weight. Use this for cubic yards, yardage, and bulk-material volume. Confirm weight separately with your supplier.
Your estimate
Enter your dimensions to see your material estimate.
Calculate first. Order with confidence.
Area × fill depth (in feet) = cubic feet. Divide by 27 for cubic yards; adjust for extra material if needed.
Results are estimates, not a substitute for checking on-site dimensions, local requirements, packaging labels, or supplier specifications. Cost fields do not include delivery, taxes or labor unless you incorporate them into your entered price.
Understand the calculationsKnow what is included
Volume conversions use 27 cubic feet per cubic yard. Concrete bag-yield presets come from the QUIKRETE Concrete Mix No. 1101 data sheet. Gravel bulk-density values are editable examples—not universal constants.

How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard?
One cubic yard contains exactly 27 cubic feet.
Is a cubic yard the same as a square yard?
No. A cubic yard measures volume (three dimensions). A square yard measures area (two dimensions).
Can I use this for gravel and topsoil?
Yes, to estimate bulk volume. Weight depends on actual density and moisture, so confirm tonnage with your supplier.
