Cubic Yard Calculator
Convert excavation dimensions into cubic yards, cubic meters, and cubic feet for fast removal estimates.
Open calculatorUse expected truck capacity and real loading efficiency to estimate dispatch counts and the likely final partial load.

Haul planning
Use expected truck capacity and real loading efficiency to estimate dispatch counts and the likely final partial load.
Effective capacity
12.88 yd³
Nominal capacity × efficiency
Estimated loads
25 loads
Rounded up for dispatch planning
Unused capacity
2.00 yd³
Remaining space on final load
Field guidance 1
Loading efficiency helps account for partial fills, moisture, and dispatch realities.
Field guidance 2
Use the final unused-capacity output to understand likely partial-load inefficiency.
Field guidance 3
Coordinate truck body capacity with legal hauling limits in your region.
