Earthworks Volume Calculator

Estimate a rectangular earthworks volume from area and uniform depth.

In-browser processingNo account requiredPrivacy details ↗

Area and depth: 0–1,000,000,000 each. Use horizontal area and a single uniform depth.

Ideal area × depth only; excludes slopes, varying depths, excavation swell, compaction and soil properties. Not surveying, engineering design or excavation safety advice.

Floating-point results use up to 6 significant digits; rounding does not improve accuracy.

V (m³) = A (m²) × d (m)

Enter values and calculate.
