Concrete Calculator

Choose a shape, enter its dimensions and see the concrete volume, weight and number of bags needed.

Bag Size

The Concrete Calculator estimates the volume and weight of concrete necessary to cover a given area. Purchasing slightly more concrete than the estimated result can reduce the probability of having insufficient concrete.

Calculate concrete volume for slabs, footings, and columns — for construction, DIY projects, and contractor estimates.

Formula

Volume = length × width × depth. Convert to cubic yards by dividing cubic feet by 27.

Reference Values

  • •1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
  • •1 cubic meter = 35.31 cubic feet
  • •Typical slab depth: 4-6 inches
