Slab Concrete Calculator
Planning a concrete project? Use the Concrete Calculator from Asphalt Services Inc. to estimate how much concrete you’ll need. Whether you’re pouring a new foundation, sidewalk, or driveway, calculating your material requirements ahead of time helps you stay efficient and on budget.
How to Calculate Concrete Volume
The basic formula is: Length × Width × Depth (all in feet), then divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards. This gives you the volume of concrete you need. For example, if you’re prepping a new slab as part of a commercial paving job or supporting a resurfacing project, the calculator gives you a precise starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate how much concrete you need?
Measure the length, width, and depth of the area in feet, multiply those numbers, and divide the result by 27 to get cubic yards of concrete.
What is the formula for calculating concrete?
The formula is: Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (ft) ÷ 27 = Cubic Yards of concrete needed.
Can I use square footage to estimate concrete volume?
Yes. Multiply the square footage by the depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards.
How much concrete do I need for a 10×10 slab?
For a 10×10 slab at 4 inches thick, you’ll need about 1.23 cubic yards of concrete. (100 sq ft × 0.333 ft = 33.3 cu ft ÷ 27 = 1.23 cu yds)
Why is it important to calculate concrete volume accurately?
Accurate calculations prevent material waste, save money, and ensure timely project completion with minimal disruption.
