Concrete Slab Calculator

Calculate the volume and weight of concrete needed for a slab, whether it's a patio, driveway, garage floor, or shed pad. Enter your length, width, and thickness to get results in cubic yards, bags, and ready-mix truckloads. Ordering slightly more than the estimate helps avoid running short on pour day.

Examples

  • 10×10 slab @ 4 in: Great for small pads and sheds.
  • 20×20 patio @ 4 in: Common patio size; consider adding waste.

Estimating tips

  • Add 5–10% waste for spillage and uneven subgrade.
  • Double-check thickness (4 in is common for residential slabs; thicker for heavy loads).
  • Measure in multiple spots and use the largest dimensions to avoid coming up short.
  • If ordering ready-mix, confirm minimum loads and short-load fees with your supplier.
  • Round up bags and keep an extra bag or two for small over-excavations.

Assumptions

  • Bag yields and density vary by product; verify values on your bag or supplier spec sheet.
  • Cost estimates exclude delivery fees, taxes, and minimum loads.
