About this calculator
Overview
Concrete is measured in cubic yards for bulk delivery via truck, or in bags for smaller DIY projects. One cubic yard covers approximately 81 square feet at a 4-inch thickness. This calculator helps you determine the precise volume needed for any rectangular slab or footing.

Pro Tips
For residential slabs and driveways, 4 inches is the standard recommended thickness.
Always order 5-10% extra concrete to account for spills, uneven subgrades, or form deflection.
If using bags, calculate exactly how many you need, as running out mid-pour can create weak points known as 'cold joints'.
