The number of board feet is calculated using the following formula

Board Feet = Length (inches) × Width (inches) × Thickness (inches) / 144

To calculate board feet, start by measuring the length, width, and depth of your board.

Then, multiply the 3 numbers together to get the board's volume, which will be in cubic inches.

Finally, divide the volume by 144 as there are 144 cubic inches in a board foot.
