About this calculator
Estimate the concrete volume, number of bags or truck loads, and total material cost for a slab based on dimensions, thickness, and local pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much waste buffer should I include?
Most contractors add 5-10% for spillage, uneven subgrade, and form imperfections; larger or more irregular pours may warrant up to 15-20%.
How do I convert cubic yards to bags of concrete?
An 80lb bag yields about 0.6 cubic feet of mixed concrete, so this calculator divides your total cubic footage by 0.6 to estimate bag count for smaller DIY pours.
Does this include labor or delivery fees?
No, this estimates material cost only; labor, delivery surcharges, pumping fees, and finishing costs are separate and vary by region.
