Square Feet to Cubic Yards Calculator

Enter an area in square feet and a depth in inches to calculate volume in cubic yards.

How to Use the Square Feet to Cubic Yards Calculator

Enter a footprint in square feet and a depth in inches, and get straight to cubic yards — skipping the intermediate cubic-feet figure entirely for anyone who just wants a supplier order quantity.

cubic yards = area (ft²) × (depth (in) ÷ 12) ÷ 27

Ready-mix concrete, bulk mulch, and topsoil are all typically priced and delivered by the cubic yard rather than the cubic foot, so this skips straight to the number that actually matters at checkout. The cubic feet figure is still shown underneath, mostly as a cross-check against a smaller retail bag calculation if you're comparing bulk delivery against buying bags instead.
