Board Foot Calculator by MakerKiln by MakerKiln

Buying hardwood by the board foot? Put in your cut list by thickness, width, length and how many, and this adds up the board feet for the whole list, the amount to order with a waste allowance, and what it will cost at your price per board foot.

• A board foot is 144 cubic inches: thickness x width (inches) x length (feet) / 12
• Any number of boards, each with a name and a count
• Quarter thickness buttons for rough hardwood: 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4 and 12/4
• Length in feet or inches
• Waste percentage and price per board foot, in dollars
• Copy the list to paste into an email or a note

A 1 inch by 8 inch board, 6 feet long, is 4 board feet. Make it 2 inches thick and it is 8: same face, double the wood.

Everything is calculated in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, and the extension asks for no permissions. It is the same calculator as makerkiln.com/board-foot-calculator, without the currency picker, so it never needs the network.
