Hi, does anyone know how i can work out how many litres of soil are in a
ton? B&Q do a 125ltr bag and a ton dumpy bag but i have no way of
working out what is cheaper... Any help will be much appreciated :-)

Compost contains no soil. Compost is all organic, it will in short
order decay... whatever small amount of mineral dust remains is so
negligible one can say zero. Under ideal conditions (no erosion) the
composting organic matter on a lush forest floor takes 100 years to
produce one inch of topsoil.
