Behind the answer

Rectangles: L × W × H; cylinders: πd²H/4; tubes: π(D²−d²)H/4; multiply by quantity and waste.

How to use this calculator

All dimensions use the selected length unit. The result includes cubic meters and cubic yards.

  1. Enter what are you pouring?, dimension units, length and review the remaining options.
  2. Select Calculate or change a value to update the result. Read the result label and units before copying.
  3. Use Reset to restore the worked starting values.

Formula and method

Rectangles: L × W × H; cylinders: πd²H/4; tubes: π(D²−d²)H/4; multiply by quantity and waste.

Shape-based planning estimates. Density and bag yield are user inputs, not product guarantees. Verify dimensions, reinforcement, excavation and supplier specifications.

Worked example

A 5 m × 4 m × 0.1 m slab needs 2.2 m³ with 10% waste.

Questions about concrete calculator

Can I use the result to order concrete bags?

Yes. Select the shape, enter dimensions and quantity, and add a waste allowance. Enter the product’s stated yield per bag to get a rounded-up bag count. Density and price inputs provide separate weight and cost estimates; verify product specifications and site dimensions before ordering.

What assumptions should I check?
