Metres to Cubic Metres Calculator
You cannot convert linear metres to cubic metres without width and height. Enter all three measurements below to calculate CBM (cubic metres) instantly for cartons, pallet bays, or storage bins.
Length to volume calculator
Formula: CBM = length × width × height. Units must be metres for the result to display in cubic metres.
Example conversions
| Length (m) | Width (m) | Height (m) | CBM |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.200 |
| 1.2 | 0.8 | 1.4 | 1.344 |
| 2.4 | 1.0 | 2.6 | 6.240 |
Multiply CBM by 35.3147 to convert to cubic feet, or use the cubic feet calculator for imperial planning.
