Cubic Meter Calculator
This is a free utility to calculate the cuboid volume, support metric and imperial units (inches, feet, yards, mm, cm or meter), simple CBM calculator with calculation formula and dynamic visual cube help us understand the answer more easily.
How to use this CBM calculator
- Fill the numbers into blanks of lenght, width and height
- Accept input decimals or fraction, eg. 2.6, 6.1, 3 1/4 or 7/8
- Choose the unit of measure you are using (in, ft, yd, mm, cm, m)
- Then you will know how many cube meters(m³) is it
What is cubic meter ?
The cubic metre or cubic meter (in American English) is the unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI). Its symbol is m3. A cubic meter represents the volume of the cube with length, width and height equal to 1 meter.
How to calculate cubic meters ?
If your unit of measurement is not meter, convert the unit to meter first, then, multiply length, width and height values together, this will give you the volume of the cube.
For example :
How to calculate the volume(CBM) of a carton that dimension is 42 x 37 x 28 cm ?
Convert from measurements in cm to cubic meters,
when we measure the dimension of a carton with a ruler,
the unit is centimeters, and we need calculate the cubic meters.
- 42 cm = 42 ÷ 100 m = 0.42 m
- 37 cm = 37 ÷ 100 m = 0.37 m
- 28 cm = 28 ÷ 100 m = 0.28 m
- 0.42 × 0.37 × 0.28 = 0.043512 m³
Unit conversion and calculators
- 1 yard = 91.44 centimeters = 0.9144 meter (convert yards to meter)
- 1 foot = 30.48 centimeters = 0.3048 meter (convert feet to meter)
- 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters = 0.0254 meter (convert inch to cm)
- 1 meter = 100 centimeters (convert meter to cm)
- 1 millimeter = 0.1 centimeters = 0.001 meter (convert mm to cm)
Cubic meter formula for different units
- length (meters) x width (meters) x height (meters) = cubic meters(m³)
- length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) / 1,000,000 = cubic meters
- length (mm) x width (mm) x height (mm) / 1,000,000,000 = cubic meters
- length (inches) x width (inches) x height (inches) / 61,023.8 = cubic meters
- length (feet) x width (feet) x height (feet) / 35.315 = cubic meters
