Cost Per Yard Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Cost Per Yard (CPY) is:

$CPY = \frac{TC}{L/3}$

Where:

Cost Per Yard (CPY): The cost of one yard of material or the cost per yard to build something.
Total Cost (TC): The overall cost of the material or project.
Length (L): The total length in feet.

Let's say the total cost (TC) is $300 and the length (L) is 90 feet. Using the formula:

$CPY = \frac{300}{90/3}$

We get:

$CPY = \frac{300}{30} = 10 \text{ $/yard}$

So, the cost per yard is $10 per yard.

Formula: Price per Square Yard = $\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Square Yards}}$

Example: Price per Square Yard = $\frac{500}{25}$

Formula: Cost per Cubic Yard = $\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Cubic Yards}}$

Example: Cost per Cubic Yard = $\frac{1000}{50}$

Formula: Feet per Yard = $\text{Yards} \times 3$

Example: Feet per Yard = $10 \times 3$

Formula: Concrete Cost = $\text{Volume in Cubic Yards} \times \text{Cost per Cubic Yard}$

Example: Concrete Cost = $20 \times 75$

Formula: Price per Cubic Yard = $\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Cubic Yards}}$

Example: Price per Cubic Yard = $\frac{1500}{30}$

Formula: Cubic Yards Price = $\text{Volume in Cubic Yards} \times \text{Price per Cubic Yard}$

Example: Cubic Yards Price = $25 \times 60$
