How to Convert Cubic Yards to Cubic Feet

To convert a measurement in cubic yards to a measurement in cubic feet, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 27 cubic feet/cubic yard.

Since one cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cubic feet = cubic yards × 27

The volume in cubic feet is equal to the volume in cubic yards multiplied by 27.

For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic yards to cubic feet using the formula above.

cubic feet = (5 yd³ × 27) = 135 ft³
