Concrete Yardage Calculator
Calculate the exact cubic yardage of concrete required for your next pour.
Ordering Concrete by the Yard
Concrete is universally sold and delivered by the cubic yard. Getting this calculation correct is critical; ordering too little will ruin your pour, and ordering too much wastes money.
The Calculation
To find cubic yards, you must convert all dimensions (length, width, thickness) into feet, multiply them together to find cubic feet, and then divide by 27 (since there are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard).
Frequently Asked Questions
How much extra should I order?
Contractors universally recommend ordering an extra 10% on top of your mathematical yardage. This accounts for spillage, uneven subgrades, and formwork settling.
