You do not need to download anything. This cubic yard calculator runs in your phone browser, works offline once loaded in many browsers, and can sit on your home screen like an app.
Why use the web version
App stores have many cubic yard calculators, but they ask you to install, accept ads, and update. The web calculator opens instantly, is free, and always has the latest formulas. It also covers more shapes and materials than most apps: 11 shapes, 24 materials, and a price estimator.
Add it to your iPhone home screen
Open the calculator in Safari. Tap the share button, then tap Add to Home Screen. Name it and tap Add. It now opens like an app.
Add it to your Android home screen
Open the calculator in Chrome. Tap the menu with three dots, then tap Add to Home screen or Install app. Confirm the name.
Tips for using it on site
Turn your phone sideways for a wider view. Use the unit menus to enter inches next to a depth and feet next to a length. Use the price estimator to compare bulk and bagged prices at the supplier.
Save a link to the page for the material you buy most, such as the mulch calculator or the concrete calculator.
