About this estimate

Volume comes from your measurements. The selected allowance is added once. It is not a verified compaction or shrinkage factor, and no loose to compacted conversion is assumed.

You can mix measurement units. We convert them to volume before calculating your material quantity. Feet and miles use international definitions. Gallons mean U.S. liquid gallons.

Weight estimates use a material specific bulk density or a published planning reference. A reference is not a measured density for your delivery. Cubic yards multiplied by pounds per cubic yard, divided by 2,000, gives U.S. short tons. A density for one material is not applied to another.

Planning estimate only. Actual quantities vary with material, gradation, moisture, compaction and site conditions. The allowance does not guarantee sufficient material. Summit Aggregates™ does not guarantee coverage, delivered weight, design suitability or final order quantities from this calculator. Confirm specifications and quantities with your project professional and Summit before ordering. Liability that cannot lawfully be excluded is preserved. Calculator terms.

One U.S. short ton is 2,000 pounds. One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Volume and weight are different measurements.
