How to Use the Concrete Calculator
Enter the dimensions of the slab, footing or volume you need to fill to estimate required concrete.
Practical Example
A slab measuring 10 ft by 10 ft by 0.5 ft has a volume of 50 cubic feet, or about 1.85 cubic yards before adding waste.
Factors That Affect the Result
Real projects should allow for uneven excavation, spillage, form dimensions and a reasonable waste margin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I add extra concrete?
Yes. A small waste allowance is common.
Are units important?

Is this a structural design tool?
