Cut & Fill Calculator
Enter existing terrain levels and design levels to automatically calculate the cut and fill volume required.
What This Tool Does
Purpose:
This tool calculates the volume of material that must be excavated (cut) or added (fill) by comparing existing ground levels with a proposed design level.
How It Works:
- Enter your existing ground levels
- Enter the design level
- The system calculates:
- Cut volume (material to remove)
- Fill volume (material to add)
- Net volume difference
Useful for setting out, construction preparation, site planning, and earthworks estimation.
Ideal for quick on-site checks or early-stage planning calculations.

What is cut and fill?
Cut and fill refers to the process of excavating earth from one area (cut) and using it to fill another area (fill) to achieve the desired ground level for construction projects.
When do I use this tool?
Use this tool during site planning, earthworks estimation, construction preparation, or when you need to quickly calculate material volumes for grading projects.
How accurate are the results?
Results are calculated based on the level data you provide. For preliminary estimates, this tool is highly accurate. For final construction volumes, detailed surveying is recommended.
Can I calculate multiple points?
Yes, you can add multiple terrain points to get a comprehensive cut and fill calculation across your entire site area.
What units are supported?
The calculator works with any consistent unit system (meters, feet, etc.). Ensure all your measurements use the same units for accurate results.
