Excavation & Earthwork Calculators & Estimators
Dig volumes, swell, compaction, cut-fill balance and hauling. Built for homeowners planning a project and contractors preparing a bid: enter dimensions, get the quantities and budget ranges suppliers actually quote in.
Excavation Calculator
Dig volume in bank and loose cubic yards, with swell and truckload counts.
Cut and Fill Calculator
Earthwork balance: surplus to export or deficit to import, shrinkage included.
Trench Calculator
Trench spoil volume for utilities, footings and drains by length, width, depth.
Swell Factor Calculator
Compute swell percentage from bank and loose volumes, or convert between them.
Compaction Calculator
Compacted volume from loose material and target density percentage.
Truckload Calculator
Convert total tons to dump-truck trips by truck class.
When to use which calculator
Every dig starts at the Excavation Calculator — bank volume plus the swelled loose volume you actually haul. Balancing a site? Cut and Fill. Utility work? Trench. The Swell Factor and Compaction calculators convert between bank, loose and compacted states, and the Truckload Calculator turns any tonnage into trips.
