Concrete Calculator: Slab Volume and Bags

Concrete volume in cubic yards or cubic meters for a slab or pour, with a waste allowance and the number of 80, 60 or 40 lb (or 30 and 20 kg) premix bags.

How to use

  1. Enter the length, width and thickness of the pour. A 4" slab is entered as 4 (plain numbers are inches).
  2. Set the waste allowance; 10% is typical for spillage, uneven subgrade and form deflection.
  3. Read the volume to order, split into net volume and waste, in cubic yards (cubic meters in metric).
  4. Pick a bag size to see how many premix bags it takes. Bag yields are typical figures; check the product label.
  5. Length fields accept the same entries as the Feet and Inches Calculator: 9' 6, 7 3/4", 2743mm or 3m + 6'. A plain number means inches, or millimeters when the Units panel is set to metric.
