Concrete Calculator — Cubic Yards & Bag Estimator

Precisely calculate volume for slabs, footings, and columns. Estimate ready-mix truck loads or individual bags for smaller projects.

One cubic yard of concrete equals 27 cubic feet. For a standard 4-inch slab, one cubic yard covers approximately 81 square feet. If using 80lb bags, you need 45 bags to make one cubic yard.
