⚠️Estimate — bag yield varies with mixing. Volume calculation is exact for rectangular slabs.

How to Use This Calculator

Calculate how much concrete you need for a slab, walkway, or foundation. Enter the length, width, and depth to get the volume in cubic yards and the number of bags required.

  1. Measure the length and width of your slab in feet.
  2. Measure the depth (thickness) in feet or inches.
  3. The calculator converts all dimensions to cubic feet, then to cubic yards.
  4. Choose between 60 lb bags (0.45 cu ft each) or 80 lb bags (0.6 cu ft each).
  5. Read the total volume and bag count.

How the Calculation Works

Volume in cubic feet = length × width × depth. Divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. For bags: divide total cubic feet by the yield per bag (0.45 for 60 lb, 0.6 for 80 lb).

Example

A 10 ft by 12 ft patio slab at 4 inches thick: volume is 10 × 12 × 0.333 = 40 cubic feet = 1.48 cubic yards. That requires about 67 bags of 80 lb concrete mix.

Pro Tips

  • Always order 5-10% more concrete than calculated to account for uneven ground and spillage.
  • For slabs thicker than 4 inches, consider ordering ready-mix concrete delivery instead of bags.
  • Standard slab thickness is 4 inches for patios and walkways, 6 inches for driveways.
  • Reinforce slabs with wire mesh or rebar for driveways and heavy-load areas.
