Estimating materials
The Concrete Calculator converts slab or column dimensions into cubic feet, cubic yards and cubic meters, adds a waste allowance, and estimates the number of 40, 60 or 80 lb premix bags. Ready-mix suppliers usually sell by the cubic yard, while bags suit small pours.
Always round up when ordering and confirm the final quantity with your supplier — uneven subgrade and form movement can increase the amount needed.
