Bulk Material Calculator

Choose the shape that best matches your project

Instructions

This calculator can help you determine about how many cubic yards of material you need for your project.

  1. Choose a shape above and look at the diagram
  2. Measure each dimension of your project according to the diagram
  3. Type in each measurement as indicated above, and click 'Calculate'
  4. The result will be displayed in cubic yards

We strongly recommend rounding up to the nearest cubic yard, or better.
In most cases it's usually better to have extra than not enough

DISCLAIMER

These formulas are designed for smaller bulk materials only (topsoil, sand, mulch, and 1"-1.5" gravels)
This calculator serves as a rough estimate only and should not be considered an absolution.
