Cubic Yard Calculator
Convert excavation dimensions into cubic yards, cubic meters, and cubic feet for fast removal estimates.
Open calculatorConvert simple field measurements into slope outputs that help with drainage, grading, paving, and layout review.

Field layout
Convert simple field measurements into slope outputs that help with drainage, grading, paving, and layout review.
Percent grade
6.25%
Rise ÷ run × 100
Angle
3.58°
Arctangent of rise over run
Slope ratio
1:16.00
Vertical to horizontal relationship
Field guidance 1
Rise and run can stay in any consistent unit because the ratio remains the same.
Field guidance 2
Percent grade is often easier for field checks; angle is useful for drainage and geometry review.
Field guidance 3
Use slope ratio when coordinating with civil drawings or stakeout notes.
