Enter dimensions and your own material and service prices. The total is a planning estimate and is not a contractor quote.
Formula and assumptions
The estimate adds concrete volume (including waste) multiplied by your price per cubic yard, delivery, labor, demolition, and other entered costs.
What affects a concrete estimate?
Material price, delivery minimums, access for the truck, pumping needs, demolition, disposal, labor, reinforcement, forming, finishing, permits, and site preparation can all affect the final price. Add costs only when they apply and confirm each amount locally.
Worked example
For a 20 × 10 ft slab at 4 inches, the base volume is about 2.47 yd³. With 10% waste, the material quantity is about 2.72 yd³. At an example price of $175 per yd³, the material line would be about $476 before delivery or other work.

Can this calculator confirm NYC code compliance?
No. Confirm applicable requirements, permits, inspections, and design details with the relevant authority or a qualified professional.
