How this calculation works
Estimate wet concrete volume, dry-volume allowance, and common material quantities. The result is calculated locally in your browser from the visible inputs, and the method below remains available for checking.
Worked example
A 5 × 4 × 0.1 m slab needs about 2.1 m³ wet concrete with 5% waste.
Assumptions and limits
- Material split is an indicative nominal mix, not a structural mix design.
Questions people ask
How does the Concrete Calculator work?
It applies this displayed method: Wet volume = l×w×d×quantity×waste; dry-volume factor 1.54 is split by nominal 1:1.5:3 concrete proportions. Values stay in your browser and are not submitted to a server.
What should I check before using the Concrete result?
Material split is an indicative nominal mix, not a structural mix design. Quantities are planning estimates. Site conditions, product sizes, workmanship and structural specifications require professional verification.
