Area to Cubic Yards (Volume) Calculator

Select the Area + Depth (Volume) shape to calculate volume, not just area. Enter your area with its unit (ft², yd², m², or acres) and a depth or thickness with its unit (in, ft, yd, m, or cm), then click Calculate. The tool converts both values to feet internally, multiplies area by depth, and displays the volume in cubic yards, cubic feet, and cubic meters, the units suppliers use for ordering concrete, mulch, gravel, topsoil, and other bulk materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Enter area and depth (or thickness). The calculator multiplies for volume and shows cubic yards, cubic feet, and cubic meters, the units suppliers use for ordering.
Select Area + Depth (Volume), enter area (ft², yd², m², etc.) and depth (in, ft, cm, etc.), then click Calculate. It converts to cubic feet internally and divides by 27 for cubic yards.
Enter surface area and desired depth (4 inches for a slab, 3 inches for mulch, for example). The cubic yards result is what to order. Most suppliers sell concrete, mulch, and gravel by the cubic yard.
