Concrete volume is **footprint area × depth**, converted to cubic yards for ready-mix orders or bags for small pours.
**Formula:**
Cu ft = sq ft × (depth in ÷ 12)
Cu yd = cu ft ÷ 27
Bags = ceil(cu ft ÷ yield per bag)
**Example — 10×10 ft slab, 4 in deep:**
100 × (4÷12) = 33.33 cu ft = **1.23 yd³**
≈ **75** sixty-pound bags (0.45 cu ft each)
Add **5–10% buffer** for uneven subgrade and spill.
Rectangle, circle, or area footprint times depth, with optional order buffer.

Common real-world scenarios where this tool saves time.
4 in slab ≈ 1.23 yd³ — bag mix or short-load ready-mix.
4 in × 80 sq ft ≈ 1 yd³ — common walk pour.
24 in deep — circle mode for fence posts.

| Use | Depth |
|---|---|
| Patio / sidewalk | 4 in |
| Driveway | 6–8 in |
| Footings | 8 in+ |
| Bag size | Approx. yield |
|---|---|
| 40 lb | 0.30 cu ft |
| 60 lb | 0.45 cu ft |
| 80 lb | 0.60 cu ft |
Compact gravel base **before** final depth measurement — subsidence changes volume.
Driveways need **6–8 in** depth — 4 in patio math will crack under vehicle load.
Under 1 yd³ ready-mix often costs more per yard — compare bag mix.

At 4 inches thick: about 1.23 cubic yards or roughly 75 sixty-pound bags. Add 10% buffer for spill.
Divide total cu ft by bag yield (60 lb ≈ 0.45 cu ft) and round up. The calculator shows 40/60/80 lb counts.
Cu yd = (sq ft × depth in feet) ÷ 27. Example: 100 sq ft × 0.333 ft ÷ 27 = 1.23 yd³.
4 in for patios and walks. Driveways and garage slabs need 6–8 in — change depth on the form.
Under ~1 yd³, bag mix avoids short-load fees. Above 1 yd³, ready-mix delivery is usually cheaper per yard.
Gravel Calculator estimates compacted base under the slab. Concrete Calculator estimates the pour on top.
Use circle mode — enter diameter and depth for cu yd and bags.
Switch to metric — enter m² and depth in cm for m³ and liters.
5–10% buffer for uneven subgrade and spill — enable on the main form.
Use the post hole preset — 12 in diameter circle mode with your bury depth.
Dimensions stay on your device.
Estimates only — structural footings and PSI mix require engineered plans.
