CFT Calculation Formula
CFT (Cubic Feet) = Length(ft) × Width(ft) × Height(ft)
Amount = CFT × Rate per CFT
Example: If Length = 7ft, Breadth = 12in, Thickness = 1in
Breadth in feet = 12in ÷ 12 = 1ft
Thickness in feet = 1in ÷ 12 = 0.0833ft
CFT = 7 × 1 × 0.0833 = 0.5833 CFT
If Rate per CFT = Rs.1400, then Amount = 0.5833 × 1400 = Rs.816.67
