Excavation Volume Calculator

Estimate excavated soil volume, the larger loose volume after digging, and the truck loads to cart it away.

Estimate only — not a substitute for a licensed tradesperson, a certified engineer, or sign-off from your local building surveyor. Verify against current standards and site conditions before ordering materials or starting work.

building rules differ by state, territory and council. Results are estimates - confirm requirements with your local council or state building authority before you build.

Typical swell is about 20–30% for clay and loam, 10–15% for sand. Use your excavator or hauler's figure if you have one.
