Concrete Bag Calculator

Estimate the number of concrete mix bags needed from project dimensions or a known concrete volume and the bag yield printed on the package.

Use the yield printed on the concrete mix bag.

How it works

The calculator determines concrete volume, applies the extra allowance, divides by the stated yield per bag and rounds up to a whole bag.

bags = ceil(adjusted concrete volume ÷ yield per bag)

Worked example

A 6 ft × 4 ft slab at 4 in thick is 8 ft³ before extra allowance. Enter the yield printed on your chosen bag.

Limitations

  • Bag yields vary by product and placement conditions; use the manufacturer’s stated yield.
