Concrete Calculator
Concrete Yards and/or Bags Calculator, Including Approximate Cost
If you need to know how much concrete you need to get, the yardage calculator below returns an estimate of the amount of concrete needed for your project, along with an approximate cost, which is determined by your location and concrete prices near you. Calculate the number of bags or how many yards needed for any project.
Works for Cubic Yards or Bags
- Yard of Concrete: Cubic yard of concrete delivered on a Redi mix truck. For projects that need less than 2 yards there is generally a delivery fee of $75-$100 added to the cost of the concrete.
- Bags of Concrete: Bags are packaged in 50, 60 and 80 pound sizes and each size bag includes enough concrete to cover a different sized area.
- 50-pound bag = .37 yard of concrete.
- 60-pound bag = .45 yard of concrete.
- 80-pound bag = .60 yard of concrete.

Data Resources for this Calculator
We make use of several resources to compile data used in our cost calculators. It assures you the most accurate cost estimates based on real scientific data from trusted resources. for this concrete estimator, we used the following sources:
- Cost of living data: US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis.
- Concrete cost per yard and per bag prices are sourced from the following: Concrete Network, Concrete Insights, Lowes bagged concrete, Home Depot concrete bags.
- Estimated costs are compiled by a averaging the cumulative costs submitted by our partners who have used this as a estimating tool for their own purposes and made their estimates public. We’ve removed all personal identifying data and used aggregate values only.
