How to Use the Concrete Calculator

  1. Select your unit system: Imperial (ft/in) or Metric (m/cm).
  2. Enter the length, width, and depth of your project area.
  3. Adjust the waste factor percentage (default 10%).
  4. Click Calculate to see volume and bags needed.

Why Add a Waste Factor?

It is always recommended to order 5-15% more concrete than calculated to account for spillage, uneven subgrade, and slight variations in dimensions. A 10% waste factor is standard for most residential projects.
