This free concrete calculator works out how much concrete a slab, a path or a footing needs, in cubic yards and cubic meters.

It also counts the bags of each size, from 40 to 90 pounds, by the yields on QUIKRETE's own data sheet.

I built it because concrete is worked out by volume but sold in bags, and turning one into the other is where projects come up short.

Here's the formula, a worked example, and the bag yields.

Key takeaways

Concrete in cubic feet = length × width × thickness, all in feet; ÷ 27 for cubic yards.
A 10 by 10 foot slab, 4 inches thick, is 33.3 cubic feet, or 1.23 cubic yards.
By QUIKRETE's data sheet, an 80 lb bag of Concrete Mix yields about 0.60 cubic feet, and a 60 lb bag 0.45.
That slab with 10% extra takes 62 bags of 80 lb, or 82 bags of 60 lb.

What is a concrete calculator?

A concrete calculator turns the size of a slab, a path, a post hole or a footing into the concrete it takes.

For a round post hole, pick the circle and type the distance across.

How concrete is measured

Area × thickness gives cubic feet. A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, by the units in NIST Handbook 44.

The bags come from the QUIKRETE Concrete Mix No. 1101 data sheet.

A worked example

Here's the example the calculator loads: a 10 by 10 foot slab, 4 inches thick, with 10% extra.

100 × 4 ÷ 12 = 33.3 cubic feet. With 10% extra, that's 36.7 cubic feet, or 1.36 cubic yards. 36.7 ÷ 0.60 = 62 bags of 80 lb.

Mistakes to avoid

These are the slips that come up most.

  • Forgetting to turn the thickness from inches into feet
  • Ordering the exact volume with nothing extra
  • Using these yields for another mix without checking its bag

Who is the concrete calculator for?

It's for anyone pouring a slab, a path or post footings, and these tools help around it.

Count the bags before the pour, and you won't run out halfway.

Concrete Calculator FAQs

Questions about the concrete calculator? Here's what to know.

A concrete calculator works out the concrete a slab, path or footing needs, in cubic yards and in bags.

Multiply length × width × thickness in feet for cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards.

At 4 inches thick with 10% extra, 62 bags of 80 lb, or 82 of 60 lb, by QUIKRETE's yields.

About 0.60 cubic feet, by QUIKRETE's data sheet for Concrete Mix.

27 ÷ 0.60 = 45 bags.

27 cubic feet: 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet.

Yes, switch to meters and type the thickness in centimeters.
