Estimated result
Enter measurements and select Calculate.
Board-foot formula
Board feet = thickness in inches × width in inches × length in feet ÷ 12. Quantity multiplies the per-piece result. Optional cost uses only your entered price per board foot.
Actual dimensions
Enter measured or specified dimensions. The calculator does not translate nominal lumber names, optimize cutting, determine structural capacity, or retrieve supplier pricing.
Worked example
A 2-inch by 6-inch board that is 8 feet long contains 8 board feet. Ten pieces contain 80 board feet.
