Cubic Yard Calculator
Convert excavation dimensions into cubic yards, cubic meters, and cubic feet for fast removal estimates.
Open calculatorThis tool helps estimate grading balance by comparing average cut depth with average fill depth across a plan area.

Grading planning
This tool helps estimate grading balance by comparing average cut depth with average fill depth across a plan area.
Cut volume
533.33 yd³
Estimated removal
Fill volume
266.67 yd³
Estimated import or redistribution
Net balance
266.67 yd³
Net export
Field guidance 1
Average cut and fill depths should reflect a realistic grading surface, not isolated highs or lows.
Field guidance 2
A positive net balance means export; a negative balance suggests import or additional borrow.
Field guidance 3
Use this result to frame haul planning before a full earthwork model is available.
