How this calculator works

Density varies by material, moisture, and compaction. The 1.4 US tons/yd³ default is an example, not a universal conversion. Ask your supplier for the appropriate density.

Check the input and output units. Displayed results are rounded; retain unrounded values when chaining calculations.
