Crushed Stone Calculator

The Crushed Stone Calculator computes crushed stone from the relation tons = length ft x width ft x (depth in / 12) / 27 x density lb per cubic yard / 2000. It takes 4 inputs (area length in feet, area width in feet, stone depth in inches, stone density in lb per cubic yard) and returns the crushed stone. Because this is a pure mathematical or physical formula rather than a jurisdiction-specific rule, the result never changes over time: the same inputs always produce the same answer, so you can rely on it whether you are checking homework, sizing a design, or sanity-checking another tool. Enter your values in the fields below and the result updates instantly; you can also share a permalink that pre-fills the exact calculation, which is useful for teaching, reports, or collaboration. For example, with area length = 10 feet, area width = 10 feet, stone depth = 6 inches, stone density = 2700 lb per cubic yard, the crushed stone works out to 2.5, and the worked example further down the page shows every step so you can follow the arithmetic and reproduce it by hand. The method is the standard form documented by CalculatorHub methodology, and the figure above each result carries the date it was last verified.
