How to Convert Cubic Meters to Cubic Yards
To convert a measurement in cubic meters to a measurement in cubic yards, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 1.307951 cubic yards/cubic meter.
Since one cubic meter is equal to 1.307951 cubic yards, you can use this simple formula to convert:
cubic yards = cubic meters × 1.307951
The volume in cubic yards is equal to the volume in cubic meters multiplied by 1.307951.
For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic meters to cubic yards using the formula above.
cubic yards = (5 m³ × 1.307951) = 6.539753 yd³
How Many Cubic Yards Are in a Cubic Meter?
There are 1.307951 cubic yards in a cubic meter, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 m³ = 1.307951 yd³

What Is a Cubic Yard?
The cubic yard is a unit of volume that is equal to the space consumed by a cube with each edge measuring one yard.
The cubic yard is a US customary and imperial unit of volume. A cubic yard is sometimes also referred to as a cubic yd. Cubic yards can be abbreviated as yd³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu yard, cu yd, or CY. For example, 1 cubic yard can be written as 1 yd³, 1 cu yard, 1 cu yd, or 1 CY.
You can calculate volume using a cubic yardage calculator if you have the dimensions of a space or object.
