Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in feet) / 27. For example, a 20 ft by 20 ft area filled to 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about (20 x 20 x 0.5) / 27 = 7.4 cubic yards; order an extra 5–15% to allow for settling and compaction.

Yes, fill dirt commonly settles as soils consolidate and moisture escapes, especially if placed loose. Plan to order 5–15% more material depending on depth, soil type, and whether you will compact in lifts; heavier clays settle less than very loose sandy fill, but compaction in layers reduces long-term settlement.
