How to Calculate Concrete

Enter the project length, width, and thickness. The calculator converts the measurements to feet, calculates cubic feet, then divides by 27 to return cubic yards.

Formula

Cubic yards = Length × Width × Thickness ÷ 27

Before Ordering

Confirm the slab thickness, supplier minimums, product yield, and an appropriate waste allowance before purchasing.
