How the concrete slab calculator works
Estimate concrete for patios, shed bases, workshop floors and other rectangular slabs. Set your slab thickness and include a waste allowance to get a more realistic order quantity.
Slab volume = length × width × thickness. Add the selected waste percentage to the base volume before ordering. 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
What slab thickness should I use?
Use the thickness specified by your project plans or local requirements. This calculator estimates material quantity; it does not choose structural thickness.
How do I calculate a 10×10 slab?
Enter 10 by 10 in the chosen length units and enter the slab thickness. The calculator returns the volume automatically.
Should I order extra concrete?
A modest allowance can help account for uneven subgrade, forms and small losses.
Can I estimate slab cost?
Yes. Enter the quoted concrete price in your chosen cost-per-volume unit.
