Sand calculator guide
Use this estimator for bedding sand, leveling layers and other rectangular applications. Enter the actual depth and adjust the density if your supplier provides a product-specific value.
Density is an estimate
Sand density changes with moisture, grading and compaction. The default value is a planning assumption, not a supplier-certified shipping weight.

Follow the installation specification for the application. Paver systems, masonry work and general fill can have different requirements.
