How it works
The formula behind this calculator.

volume = length × width × thickness; bags = volume / 0.6 ft³ per 80-lb bag

length, width
Surface dimensions
thickness
Slab depth, typically 4–6 inches for patios

Order 5–10% more than the calculated volume for spillage and over-excavation. Concrete cures, not dries — keep it moist for 7 days.

Example: 10 ft × 10 ft × 4 in slab → 33.3 ft³ → ~56 80-lb bags

Ref: Standard ready-mix concrete densities

Tips
  • 💡 Always order 5–10% more concrete than your calculation. Spillage, over-excavation, and slab thickness variations add up.
  • 💡 Concrete cures, not dries. Keep it moist for 7 days for maximum strength.
