Concrete Calculator

Project Type: Water Ratio (%): Cement Ratio (%): Sand Ratio (%): Aggregate Ratio (%):

The Concrete Calculator is a tool that helps you calculate the amount of concrete required for a given project. It is a simple and easy-to-use tool that can be used by anyone who has basic knowledge of concrete.

Concepts

Calculating concrete is based on finding the volume of the area filled with concrete. The volume is then converted into the amount of concrete required. The calculator does this for us automatically.

Formulae

The formula used by the calculator to calculate the amount of concrete required is as follows:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

where Length, Width, and Height are the dimensions of the area to be filled with concrete.
