How to convert cubic feet to cubic yards
1 cubic foot = 0.037037037 cubic yards. To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide by 27 (or multiply by 0.037037037). A cubic foot is a 1 ft × 1 ft × 1 ft cube, about 28.317 L. A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, about 0.7646 m³.
Worked examples
- 27 cubic feet = 1 yd³ (27 ÷ 27)
- 60 cubic feet = 2.22222 yd³ (60 ÷ 27)
- 100 cubic feet = 3.7037 yd³ (100 ÷ 27)
Where this conversion comes up
Cubic feet are used for fridges, freezers, storage units and gas meters; cubic yards for concrete, mulch, topsoil and gravel orders. Mulch, topsoil, gravel and ready-mix concrete are ordered by the cubic yard, while plans, bag labels and length × width × depth math give cubic feet. A cubic yard is a cube 3 ft on each side, so it holds exactly 27 ft³. A 10 × 10 ft bed covered 3 inches deep is 25 ft³, or 0.93 yd³; 100 ft³ is 3.70 yd³. A 2 ft³ bag of mulch is 0.074 yd³, so it takes 13.5 bags to make one yard. Suppliers usually sell in quarter or half yards, so round up.
Quick estimate
Divide by 27: 54 ft³ = 2 yd³.
Common mistakes
- Multiplying instead of dividing. A cubic yard is larger than a cubic foot, so the number of cubic yards must come out smaller: 27 cubic feet = 1 yd³.
