This concrete calculator works out the volume of concrete for a slab, circular slab or column, wall, or round post hole, then the number of pre-mixed bags and the total cost. Pick the shape, enter the dimensions in metric or imperial units, and the results update as you type.
Ordering too little concrete can cause delays and cold joints, while ordering too much wastes money. The guide below explains the formulas the calculator uses for each shape.
Our tool is designed to handle a variety of project shapes and provide detailed results.
Our concrete volume calculator uses standard geometric formulas to provide accurate estimates.
This is the most common calculation, used for foundations, patios, sidewalks, and floors. The formula is simple:
Volume = Length × Width × Thickness
It's crucial to ensure all dimensions are in the same unit before multiplying. Our tool handles this conversion automatically.
Used for circular patios, deck footings, or columns. The formula involves the constant Pi (π).
Volume = π × (Diameter / 2)² × Height (or Thickness)
Our calculator simplifies this by asking for the diameter and height/thickness directly.
This is essentially a slab standing on its edge. The calculator multiplies Length × Height × Thickness.
For setting fence posts or deck supports in cylindrical holes (often formed with cardboard tubes). This uses the same formula as a circular slab, where the "height" is the depth of the hole.
A key feature of our concrete bag calculator is converting the required volume into the number of pre-mixed bags you need to buy. The yield of a concrete bag (how much volume it produces) depends on its weight. Here are some standard yields:
Our calculator divides the total required volume by the yield of your selected bag size and rounds up to the nearest whole number, as you cannot buy a fraction of a bag.
Yes. It is always recommended to add an extra 5-10% to your total calculated volume. This accounts for spillage, uneven subgrade, and the small amount of concrete that will stick to the mixer and tools. It's much better to have a little extra than to run out before the job is finished. The calculator does not add this margin for you.
This is a common point of confusion. Cement is just one ingredient in concrete. Concrete is a composite material made of three main components: aggregate (rock and sand), cement (which acts as the binder), and water.
Yes, this tool is 100% free to use, with no limits on the number of calculations.
Accurate planning is the foundation of any successful construction project. By using our comprehensive Concrete Calculator, you can eliminate costly errors and ensure you have the right amount of material for the job. From calculating the volume for a simple slab to estimating the number of bags and the total cost, this tool provides the detailed information you need to proceed with confidence.
