Lumber & panels
Estimate lumber volume, board-feet, panel quantities and optional costs.
About this tool
Enter actual wood dimensions and the number of pieces. Metric thickness and width use mm; length uses m. Switching units converts valid entered dimensions. 1 board-foot (BF) is 144 cubic inches, or 0.002359737216 m³. Nominal lumber sizes may differ from actual dimensions.
Panels: required area × (1 + reserve/100), divided by panel area, rounded up. Purchased area includes complete panels. This is an area estimate, without a cutting layout or allowance for seams.
Price is optional. For wood, select a price per m³, BF or piece; for panels, price is per panel. Choose the currency; no exchange-rate conversion, tax or delivery charge is applied.
Calculate or press Enter. Edits hide previous results. Reset restores defaults. Positive dimensions and areas: 0.000001–1000000 in the selected unit; pieces: 1–1000000; reserve: 0–100%; price: 0–1000000000. These are software limits.
