Concrete Calculator: Estimate Volume and Materials Needed
Understanding Concrete Calculations
How to Use This Calculator
Enter the length and width in feet, and the depth in inches. The calculator will provide the volume in both cubic yards and cubic feet, along with estimated material requirements for a standard concrete mix.
Material Ratios
A typical concrete mix consists of cement, sand, and gravel in a 1:2:3 ratio. For every cubic yard of concrete, you'll need approximately 6 bags of cement, 1/2 ton of sand, and 3/4 ton of gravel.
Additional Tips
Always add 10% extra to your calculations to account for waste and variations in ground level. For critical projects, consult with a professional to ensure proper specifications and reinforcement requirements.
