⚠️ Results are estimates for takeoff and planning. Do not use them as a substitute for structural design, specifications or local building codes; consult a qualified professional when required.

🔎 Calculate concrete volume and estimate material quantities

Enter the dimensions of a slab, footing or circular column to calculate concrete volume before applying your waste allowance.

The calculator can also estimate cement, sand and aggregate for planning and takeoff. Mix design and site requirements should still follow project specifications.

  • Concrete volume for common shapes.
  • Estimated cement, sand and aggregate.
  • Waste allowance and project cost options where available.

Worked examples and practical tips

For a rectangular pour, volume is length multiplied by width multiplied by thickness, all in metres.

Calculate slab concrete

A slab 4 metres long, 3 metres wide, and 0.15 metres thick needs 1.8 cubic metres before any allowance.

4 × 3 × 0.15 = 1.8 m³

Allow for losses

A planning allowance may be added separately depending on site conditions, geometry, and supplier guidance.

Required volume + chosen allowance

Tip: Estimates do not replace structural design, mix specifications, engineering review or on-site quantity checks.

💡 Useful information

Estimate concrete volume in cubic metres for basic slabs and rectangular pours using length, width and thickness. Review worked examples.

ℹ️ How to use

  1. Choose the relevant concrete quantity estimate and enter the dimensions shown in the calculator.
  2. Use consistent units when entering lengths, widths and thicknesses.
  3. Calculate the estimate and separately review any wastage allowance and engineering requirements.
