Cubic Feet Calculator
Enter length, width and height to get the volume in cubic feet — the number that decides which moving truck to book, whether the fridge fits the alcove, and what the shipping company will charge. It works in feet or centimeters and shows cubic meters alongside, because the rest of the world quotes volumes that way.
Everything updates as you type, and the cm mode means European appliance specs and American shelf measurements can finally be compared on one screen.
How to use
- Choose feet or centimeters, then enter length, width and height.
- Read the volume in cubic feet and cubic meters side by side.
- Add a margin for packing — moving boxes never pack at 100% density.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate cubic feet?
Multiply length × width × height, all in feet. A box measuring 2 ft × 2 ft × 1 ft is 4 cubic feet. Measure the largest points (including handles and feet on appliances) to be safe.
How many cubic feet is a standard fridge?
A typical fridge-freezer holds 18–25 cubic feet; a compact dorm fridge around 3–4. Check the interior capacity spec, not the exterior size — walls and compressors eat space.
What size moving truck do I need?
A studio flat fits in a 10–12 ft truck (about 350–450 cu ft), a one-bedroom in a 15–16 ft truck, and a 3-bedroom house usually needs a 20–26 ft truck (1,400+ cu ft). Measure your largest furniture first.
How do I convert cubic feet to cubic meters?
Multiply by 0.0283. A 40 cu ft storage crate is about 1.13 cubic meters. The calculator shows both units automatically.
