How to Estimate Concrete Volume Without a Calculator

Need to pour a slab, patio, or driveway but not sure how much concrete you need?
Hereโ€™s a simple way to quickly estimate the volume โ€” no calculator needed ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ“ Basic formula:
๐Ÿงฑ Volume = Length ร— Width ร— Thickness

โœ… Example:
Youโ€™re pouring a slab:
๐Ÿ”น 10 ft ร— 10 ft ร— 4 inches thick

Steps:

Convert 4 inches to feet โ†’ 4 รท 12 = 0.33 ft

Multiply: 10 ร— 10 ร— 0.33 = 33 cubic feet

Convert to cubic yards (U.S. standard):
๐Ÿ‘‰ 33 รท 27 = 1.22 cubic yards

๐Ÿ“Œ So youโ€™ll need about 1.25 cubic yards of concrete, including a little extra.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip: Always order 10% more than the calculated volume โ€” for leveling, waste, and settling.
