Concrete Volume Calculator

Here's a simple, easy to use concrete volume calculator to figure the amount of cubic yards or cubic meters of concrete you will need for your project. 

Enter your dimensions into the boxes and change to the metric system if you need to.  Always check your thickness after the dirt has been graded. If you're supposed to have a 4 inch thick slab and it's actually 4.5 inches thick, that's a difference of almost 1 yard of concrete for a 24 foot x 24 foot slab.

If you're ordering concrete from a redi-mix company, they will also calculate the concrete for you. Just give them the dimensions and thickness, this is a good way to check your results with theirs.

USE A CONCRETE VOLUME SLIDE RULE TO CALCULATE CONCRETE

Another way to estimate concrete yardage is to use a slide ruler.  That's how I did it for years and still do occasionally. The instructions are on the back of the ruler, it's really quite easy and the slide rule fits right in your pocket. You can purchase these on EBAY or from Amazon
