Frequently Asked Questions
Our calculator uses standard geometric formulas to provide highly accurate volume estimations. However, actual site conditions may vary, so we recommend adding a 5-10% safety margin for irregular terrain.
The calculator supports meters, feet, and yards. You can input dimensions in any of these units, and the volume will be calculated accordingly in cubic meters, cubic feet, or cubic yards.
For complex or irregular excavation areas, we recommend dividing the area into regular shapes (rectangles, triangles, circles) and calculating each section separately, then summing the volumes.
No, our calculator provides the in-situ volume. Remember that excavated soil typically expands by 10-30% depending on soil type. You’ll need to account for this expansion when planning for disposal or storage.
Yes, our excavation volume calculator is completely free with no hidden costs or registration requirements. You can use it as often as needed for your projects.
