How this calculator works

Enter your shape and dimensions in feet. Add the depth in inches. The calculator multiplies them out and converts to cubic yard, then adds 5% overage for waste — the industry standard for compost.

Cost shown is a US national average ($35 per cubic yard). Regional pricing pages are coming soon.
