Board Feet And Lumber: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers thickness (in). Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.

Board Feet And Lumber Calculator is a planned calculator in the home and energy section of Super Calculator, covering home and garden.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: thickness (in), width (in), length (ft), piece count (n) and price per board foot (currency).

Outputs: board feet (bf), total volume (cu ft or m3), cost (currency) and linear feet required (ft).

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Board feet equal thickness in inches times width in inches times length in feet, divided by 12. Nominal lumber dimensions exceed actual dressed dimensions (a nominal two by four measures 1.5 by 3.5 inches), and board footage is conventionally computed on the nominal size.
