Calculate your accurate lumber budget including species rates and waste redundancy.

Price Calculation Engine

Price = BF × Rate

Standard pricing is calculated by multiplying the total volume in board feet by the species-specific rate.

Add 10-15% Waste

Hardwood mills recommend a 15% waste factor for select grades and up to 25% for lower common grades.

Hardwood Costs More

Hardwoods like Walnut and White Oak are sold by volume (BF), while dimensional softwoods are sold by linear foot.
