Methodology
Volume is calculated from the actual cross-section, length and quantity entered. Weight uses the density you provide; cost uses the selected price basis; the waste allowance is applied only to the ordering estimate.
Timber quantity calculator
Enter one piece or a repeated member set in metric or imperial units. Convert actual dimensions into volume, board feet, estimated weight, price and a waste-adjusted ordering quantity.

Results are planning estimates. Timber density varies with species and moisture, prices are not converted between currencies, and commercial board-foot rules may use nominal rather than actual dimensions.
