Mulch Cost Per Cubic Yard Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Mulch Cost Per Cubic Yard ($MCY$):

\[ MCY = \frac{TMC}{VM} \]

Where:

$MCY$ is the Mulch Cost Per Cubic Yard ($/yd³)
$TMC$ is the Total Mulch Cost ($)
$VM$ is the Total Volume of Mulch (yd³)

What is Mulch Cost Per Cubic Yard?

The mulch cost per cubic yard is a measure of how much it costs to purchase one cubic yard of mulch. This metric helps in budgeting and planning for landscaping projects.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Mulch Cost ($TMC$) = $180
Total Volume of Mulch ($VM$) = 1 yd³

Using the formula:

\[ MCY = \frac{180}{1} = 180 \]

The Mulch Cost Per Cubic Yard is $180 per cubic yard.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Mulch Cost ($TMC$) = $360
Total Volume of Mulch ($VM$) = 2 yd³

Using the formula:

\[ MCY = \frac{360}{2} = 180 \]

The Mulch Cost Per Cubic Yard is $180 per cubic yard.
