Concrete Slab Calculator

Circular slabs use diameter and thickness instead of length and width. Preset: 12 ft diameter, 4 inches thick, 10% waste.

The table shows bag count and ready-mix cubic yards side by side. Check the yield on your bag label — 60 lb and 80 lb bags differ.

Controls below switch between rectangle and circle shapes.
