This online calculator helps you quickly determine the volume of lumber in board feet (BF), a standard unit of measurement for wood. Enter the board's thickness and width in inches, its length in feet, and the total quantity to calculate the board footage for a single piece and for your entire stock.
The calculation is based on the standard industry formula:
Board Feet (per piece) = (Thickness (in) × Width (in) × Length (ft)) / 12
For example, let's calculate the board feet for one piece of lumber with the following dimensions:
- Thickness: 1.5 in
- Width: 5.5 in
- Length: 8 ft
Calculation:
(1.5 × 5.5 × 8) / 12 = 66 / 12 = 5.5 BF
The volume for one such board is 5.5 board feet.
