Formula

Volume = Length x Width x Depth (in consistent units). Cubic yards = cubic feet / 27. Add 5-10% for waste. Bags needed = total volume / yield per bag.

Example Calculations

Patio Slab

Input: 20ft x 15ft x 4 inches thick

Result: 3.70 cubic yards, ~93 bags (80lb each)

Footing

Input: 50ft length x 2ft wide x 1ft deep

Result: 3.70 cubic yards of concrete

Post Holes

Input: 10 holes, 12in diameter, 36in deep

Result: Total: 1.96 cubic yards

Frequently Asked Questions

How much concrete do I need?

Multiply length x width x depth in same units. Convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27. Add 5-10% for waste.

How many bags of concrete?

80-lb bag yields ~0.6 cu ft, 60-lb yields ~0.45 cu ft. Divide total needed by yield per bag, add 10%.

Standard concrete mix ratio?

1 part cement, 2 parts sand, 3 parts aggregate with water at 0.4-0.6x cement volume. This 1:2:3 ratio works for most projects.

How thick should a slab be?

4 inches for patios/walkways, 6 inches for driveways. Heavy loads may need 6-8 inches.

Does rebar affect volume?

Rebar displacement is negligible for residential projects. Focus on accurate slab dimensions.
