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

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.

What Is a Cubic Meter?

One cubic meter is equal to the volume of a cube with each edge measuring one meter.

The cubic meter, or cubic metre, is the SI derived unit for volume in the metric system. Cubic meters can be abbreviated as m³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu m, CBM, cbm, or MTQ. For example, 1 cubic meter can be written as 1 m³, 1 cu m, 1 CBM, 1 cbm, or 1 MTQ.
