BoardFoot Yield Planner

BoardFoot Yield Planner is a hardwood board-foot yield calculator for woodworkers, cabinet makers, hardwood buyers, and small shops planning a lumber-yard run. Use it to: - add multiple rough-stock lines by board group or species - enter quantity, length, width, thickness, species, and a manual price per board foot - type inch fractions such as 3/4 and 1 1/2 - use quarter thickness such as 4/4, 5/4, and 8/4, or direct inch thickness - switch between Imperial and Metric dimensions - set a waste allowance and usable yield for milling loss, defects, and cut-selection assumptions - review planned board feet, yield-adjusted purchase board feet, extra board feet, material cost, and average price - save local lumber sheets and reload them from History - share a plain-text lumber sheet for your own notes or a lumber-yard conversation Keep mixed lumber lines together when you are checking a cabinet batch, table project, or hardwood purchase. Each line keeps its own quantity, dimensions, species, and manual price, while the result card rolls up planned board feet, purchase board feet after waste and yield, extra board feet, cost, and average price. The calculation is local and offline. Manual prices are user-entered; the app does not fetch supplier prices or inventory. Fractions, quarter-thickness stock, Imperial/Metric inputs, local saved sheets, and a plain-text share summary keep the workflow useful at the bench or lumber yard. BoardFoot Yield Planner is a material-math and purchase-planning aid. Yield and waste are assumptions for a first pass, not a guarantee of usable stock or final quantity. Verify supplier stock, grade, moisture, dimensions, actual pricing, yield, waste, and project requirements before buying or cutting. It does not provide structural design, grading certification, supplier pricing guarantees, automatic measurement, construction-code or permit approval, installation or safety advice, or professional sign-off. Sharing produces a plain-text summary; this version does not provide PDF or CSV export.
