How to use this tool

  1. Enter excavation length, width, and depth in feet.
  2. The calculator returns volume in cubic feet, cubic yards, and estimated truck loads.
  3. Account for soil swell (excavated soil expands by 20–30% in volume).

Find how many cubic yards of soil are displaced for a standard two-car garage concrete slab.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate excavation volume?
Multiply length × width × depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. A standard dump truck holds about 10–14 cubic yards.
How many cubic yards fit in a dump truck?
A standard single-axle dump truck holds about 10 cubic yards. Tandem and tri-axle trucks can carry 14–20 cubic yards.
