How to use this ready-mix calculator
Enter slab length, width, and depth to get cubic yards, then adjust waste and local cost per yard. For quote-level pricing, use the slab quote and floor cost tools linked below.
Best practice before ordering
- Measure inside forms. Outside measurements can overstate concrete volume.
- Confirm depth by project type. Driveway and patio slabs often use different thickness.
- Include waste realistically. Overly low waste assumptions are a common source of short loads.

Ready-Mix FAQ
How many yards are in a standard truck?
Many planning estimates use 10 cubic yards per load, but actual capacity varies by supplier and route limits.
Should I order exactly what the calculator shows?
Usually no. Add 5 to 10 percent for waste unless your site and forms are highly controlled.
