How to Convert Cubic Yards to Cubic Meters
To convert a measurement in cubic yards to a measurement in cubic meters, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 0.764555 cubic meters/cubic yard.
Since one cubic yard is equal to 0.764555 cubic meters, you can use this simple formula to convert:
cubic meters = cubic yards × 0.764555
The volume in cubic meters is equal to the volume in cubic yards multiplied by 0.764555.
For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic yards to cubic meters using the formula above.
cubic meters = (5 yd³ × 0.764555) = 3.822774 m³
How Many Cubic Meters Are in a Cubic Yard?
There are 0.764555 cubic meters in a cubic yard, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

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.
