Premix bags

Estimate only. Ready-mix prices shown here exclude delivery fees, short-load fees, taxes, pumping, reinforcement, and labor. Local codes, site conditions, and supplier specifications can affect actual requirements.

How this concrete calculator works

The calculator converts each dimension to feet, calculates the project volume, applies your selected waste allowance, then converts that volume into cubic yards, cubic feet, cubic meters, and an estimated number of premix bags.

Slabs, footings, and walls

Volume = length × width × thickness

Round columns

Volume = π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × height

A waste allowance is added after the geometric volume is calculated. Ten percent is a practical starting point for many small DIY estimates, but actual needs vary by site and project.
