How to use it
- Enter length (ft), width (ft), and thickness (in).
- Click “Calculate” to see cubic feet, yards, and bag count.
- Review the results and round up for ordering.
Concrete Demolition Calculator lets you instantly see how much concrete you’ll remove and how many mix bags you’ll need for a new pour. Enter the slab’s length, width, and thickness, and the tool converts those dimensions to cubic feet, then to cubic yards for hauling and to 80‑lb bags using the standard 0.6 ft³ per bag. Knowing the exact volume helps you avoid costly over‑orders or shortfalls, plan waste disposal, and price the job accurately. The results appear in three columns: total cubic feet, equivalent cubic yards, and required bags. Use the cubic‑yard figure to request dump‑truck quotes, and the bag count to order the right amount of mix. All calculations are done in the browser, so your data stays private and you get the numbers instantly.
Pro tips
- Add 10% extra for breakage and spillage.
- Round bag count up to the next whole bag.
- Order concrete mix a day early to avoid delays.
- Double‑check thickness conversion from inches to feet.

Case study
Mike, a small‑business contractor, entered his 10 ft × 12 ft × 4 in slab and saw 40 ft³, 1.48 yd³, and 67 bags. He ordered 70 bags, avoided a costly shortfall, and completed the job on schedule.
