Calculate concrete volume needed in cubic yards, cubic feet, and estimate the number of bags required.
Material estimates are approximate. Actual quantities may vary due to waste, site conditions, design changes, material dimensions, labor methods and local pricing. Always verify with a qualified contractor or supplier before purchasing materials.
Volume (ft³) = L × W × D. Cubic Yards = ft³ / 27. Bags = (Cubic Yards × 27) / Bag Yield.
Result: Volume: 1.23 cu yd, Bags needed: 13
Approximately 60 bags of 60lb concrete mix make 1 cubic yard.
Yes, add 5-10% waste for spillage, uneven subgrade, and variations.
Higher psi concrete contains more cement and is stronger. Use 4000 psi for driveways and 3000 psi for patios and walkways.
