Formula:
The Lumber Calculator uses the standard formula for board feet and then calculates total cost:
Board Feet (BF) = ( T × W × L × N ) ÷ 12
Total Cost = BF × Price per BF
Where:
T = Thickness of the lumber in inches
W = Width of the lumber in inches
L = Length of the lumber in feet
N = Number of pieces
Price per BF = Price per board foot (optional for cost estimation)
