How the concrete bag calculator works
Find the number of bags of premixed concrete you need for a project. Enter the pour dimensions and the yield printed on your bag, then add a waste allowance.
Bags needed = total concrete volume ÷ bag yield, rounded up. The calculator converts the dimensions into volume before dividing by the bag yield. The calculator is designed to give a useful first-pass material estimate while keeping the assumptions visible. For a purchase, compare the result with the product packaging or supplier quotation.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find bag yield?
Look on the bag or manufacturer data sheet for the stated yield. Different bag sizes and mixes can produce different volumes.
Should I round up?
Yes. You cannot buy a fraction of a bag for a typical small project, and a small reserve is useful for uneven or waste-prone pours.
Can I use this for fence posts?
Yes. Enter the hole or pour dimensions and the yield for the specific mix you plan to buy.
Do 60 lb and 80 lb bags have the same yield?
No. Bag weight alone does not determine yield. Use the yield printed by the manufacturer.
