Concrete Calculator
Estimate concrete volume and bag quantity.
Concrete volume
2.72cubic yards
- Volume
- 73.33 cu ft
- Full bags
- 147
- Assumption
- 0.5 cu ft per bag; compaction and site conditions excluded
This is a planning estimate based on your inputs and assumptions, not an exact contractor, installer, or supplier quote.
What this calculator does
Calculate concrete volume using project dimensions, waste, repeated areas, and user-entered bag yield.
Inputs and what they mean
- Dimension unit
- — choice value.
- Length
- — number value.
- Width
- — number value.
- Depth
- — number value.
- Number of equal areas
- — number value.
- Waste allowance
- — number value.
- Volume per bag
- — number value.
How to use it
- Enter the project dimensions and choose their unit.
- Adjust waste, coverage, quantity, and other assumptions.
- Use the rounded purchase estimate as a planning guide.
Formula
Volume = length × width × depth × quantity. Waste is added and the result is converted to cubic yards and user-defined bags.
Worked example
Concrete for a rectangular project
Estimate material volume and whole bags with a 10% allowance.
Reading the result
The headline figure is the main answer. Any breakdown underneath shows the parts that make it up, so you can check the working and see what changes when you adjust an input.
