How to use the Concrete Calculator
- 1 Choose measurement units and enter the requested dimensions or values.
- 2 Review the quantity or capacity and check the assumptions before ordering materials or selecting equipment.
How the calculation works
Length times width times depth gives the volume. The selected waste allowance is added, then the result is divided by the litres of concrete yielded per bag.
Assumptions and limitations
The estimate assumes a regular shape and consistent depth. Ground conditions, reinforcement, spillage and the mix instructions can affect the order quantity.
