Earthwork Cut/Fill Balance Simulator

Adjust the proposed grade plane across the grid to balance cut & fill and minimize import/export

⚠
Net EXPORT: 666 CY
666 CY of excess cut material must be hauled off site.

📐 Proposed Grade Plane

Proposed base elevation100 ft
Grade in X direction0 %
Grade in Y direction0 %

⚙️ Grid & Material

Grid spacing50 ft/cell
Shrink/swell factor15 %
Shrink/swell is applied to the fill volume to account for compaction.

📊 Results

Grid5×5 cells
Average-end / grid method: Cut/fill volume is estimated per cell as the average corner depth × cell area. A balanced site (net ≈ 0 CY) avoids costly off-site haul or borrow. Adjust the proposed plane to tilt with the existing terrain.
