Estimate a rectangular slab’s volume

All fields stay in this browser. No information is submitted.

Enter your dimensions to begin. Thickness must come from your project design.

What the calculation includes

Length times width gives surface area. Multiplying by thickness converted from inches to feet gives cubic feet; dividing by 27 gives cubic yards. An optional allowance shows how a chosen percentage changes that simple volume.

What it does not include

Thickened edges, footings, steps, slopes, voids and irregular shapes are not included. The tool does not tell you the thickness, reinforcement, mix or foundation design your project needs. Have the installer measure and the appropriate designer specify the actual work.

Use the result to ask better questions

Bring the dimensions and intended use to the provider rather than ordering concrete from the result. Ask which parts of the proposal explain differences from the rectangular estimate. Final quantities depend on the approved design and measured site.

How the volume is calculated

01

Area

Length × width, in square feet

02

Volume

Area × (thickness ÷ 12) ÷ 27, in cubic yards

03

Allowance

Base volume × (1 + chosen percentage ÷ 100)

Put the guide to work

Review new driveway planning, patio decisions or residential slab scope. Then check the Foley local guide and prepare your address and intended use for the provider conversation.
