Concrete Calculator

Calculate concrete quantity from length, width and thickness, add an order overage and compare bulk cubic yards with common bag yields.

Bag yields vary by product and water content. Confirm the manufacturer yield and order policy before purchasing.

How this tool works

Volume = length × width × thickness. Cubic feet are divided by 27 for cubic yards, then the selected overage is added.

Example

A 20 ft × 10 ft slab at 4 inches thick is about 2.47 yd³ before overage.

Common questions

How much extra concrete should I order?

Waste, subgrade variation and supplier minimums vary. A modest overage is common, but use job-specific guidance.

Are bag yields exact?

No. Bag yields are approximate and should be replaced by the manufacturer’s stated yield for the product you buy.
