Concrete Calculators

Calculate concrete cubic yards, ready-mix orders and optional reinforcement or formwork quantities. These concrete calculators combine supported rectangular elements into one project takeoff.

Available calculators

1 live tool

Combine slabs, strip footings, pads, grade beams, walls and rectangular columns/piers.

  • Net concrete cubic yards
  • Project overage and upward order rounding
  • Optional rebar grids and wire mesh
  • Longitudinal bars and formwork

Reinforcement is user-specified quantity estimating, not structural design.

Open Calculator

Enter physical elements, not cubic yards

The number of slabs, footings or runs means the count of identical elements. The calculator generates concrete CY from dimensions and applies project overage to the combined net volume.

Add separate items when dimensions differ. Circular piers and irregular or sloped geometry are outside this tool’s supported scope.

Volume is only part of a concrete bid

Foundation plans, sections and schedules define reinforcing, forms, joints and related work. A volume check cannot identify every detail or scope requirement.

A complete takeoff measures the specified concrete and associated materials across the drawings before project pricing and labor are applied.
