Lumber & Board Foot Calculator

Convert lumber dimensions into board feet, total volume and cost for a list of pieces. Pick a common nominal size (1×4 to 4×6) to auto-fill the dimensions, then enter length, quantity and price per board foot; the tool computes board feet per piece and total, volume in cubic feet and metres, and the total cost. A toggle switches between nominal and actual (dressed) dimensions — board-foot pricing traditionally uses nominal size, while actual volume uses the smaller milled dimensions. Useful for estimating deck framing, shelving, fencing and rough carpentry before you buy. Pure arithmetic, in your browser.
