Cut / Fill Balance Calculator
Compare reusable excavation with required compacted fill to estimate import or surplus on a common compacted-volume basis.
Example: 0.90 converts 100 bank yards into 90 compacted yards. Confirm with your geotechnical data.
Your Numbers
- Reusable compacted equivalent
- 900 yd³
- Import needed (compacted equivalent)
- 100 yd³
- Non-reusable cut
- 0 bank yd³
Track disposal separately; this material is excluded from fill supply.
Change any input above and these update as you type.
What this assumes
- · Balance is in compacted-equivalent yards, not loose truck yards. Use separate conversion factors for hauling and purchased material.
- · Reusable percentage and compacted yield come from project-specific soil conditions. Excludes stripping and unsuitable material unless included in your inputs.
An estimate, not a bid. For a number you can put in front of an owner, send us the plans.
