Calculate cubic feet from dimensions and convert to other volume units

A cubic feet calculator determines the volume of a rectangular space from length, width, and height measurements. It is useful for estimating fill material, storage capacity, shipping volume, and appliance sizing whenever volume needs to be expressed in cubic feet.

How cubic feet are calculated

Cubic feet measure three-dimensional space. To calculate cubic feet, multiply the length, width, and height of the space together, with all measurements expressed in feet. If measurements are given in inches, divide each by 12 before multiplying.

The result tells you how much material, air, or liquid the space can hold. Conversions to cubic yards, cubic metres, and litres let you compare the result with product packaging and material-order quantities.

Cubic feet = Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Height (ft)

Multiply all three dimensions in feet to get the volume in cubic feet.

Common uses

Cubic feet are used in construction for concrete pours and fill material, in shipping for freight sizing, in HVAC for airflow calculations, and in appliance specifications for refrigerator and freezer capacity. Knowing the cubic footage of a space helps you order the right quantity of material and avoid waste.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert inches to cubic feet?

Divide each dimension in inches by 12 to get feet, then multiply the three results together. Alternatively, multiply length x width x height in inches and divide by 1,728.

How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard?

There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard, because 3 x 3 x 3 equals 27.
