Gravel Calculator: Estimate Your Project’s Material Needs

Use this gravel calculator to determine the amount of gravel you will need for your project.

Gravel Calculator

Use this calculator to estimate how much gravel you need for your project. Simply enter the width and length of your coverage area in meters and the depth in centimeters. The calculator will automatically provide the amount of gravel needed in cubic meters.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the width of the area where you want to apply the gravel.
  2. Enter the length of the area.
  3. Enter the depth of the gravel layer you want to lay down.
  4. Click the “Calculate” button to see the result.

How it Calculates the Results

The calculator multiplies the width, length, and depth to find the volume of gravel needed. It assumes the measurements are in meters and centimeters, respectively. The depth is converted into meters before the calculation. The result is rounded to two decimal places for ease of use.

Limitations

This calculator assumes a perfectly rectangular coverage area and does not account for irregular shapes. It cannot predict compacting of gravel after application, and the actual volume needed may vary based on the gravel type and the compaction. It is recommended to buy a little more gravel than the calculated result to account for these variables.
