Planning estimate only. Check product specifications, site conditions and local codes before ordering or building.

Concrete volume formula

Volume = length × width × depth. Convert depth from inches to feet, then divide cubic feet by 27 for cubic yards.

Planning notes

Use the measured slab or pour dimensions, then add a waste allowance for uneven excavation, spillage and small measurement errors. Bag yields vary by product, so compare the estimate with the yield printed on the bag before buying.

  • Measure depth in several places if the base is uneven.
  • A 5–10% allowance helps cover spillage and uneven excavation.
