Board feet
Calculate lumber volume and a price estimate.
How this works
Board feet = thickness (in) × width (in) × length (ft) ÷ 12, multiplied by quantity.
Example
Using the example inputs, total lumber volume is 40 bd ft.
- Actual thickness
- 1 in
- Actual width
- 6 in
- Length
- 8 ft
- Identical boards
- 10
- Price per board foot
- 0 USD
- Total lumber volume
- 40 bd ft
Use the dimensional convention your lumber supplier uses for pricing.
Scope and assumptions
Lumber pricing may use nominal or rough dimensions. Not a structural sizing or load-capacity tool.
