How to calculate concrete cost
This calculator finds total concrete project cost by multiplying concrete volume by the cost per unit volume.
How the calculation works
Total cost = Concrete volume × Cost per cubic yard (or cubic foot, matching your volume unit). Straightforward multiplication for a material cost estimate.
Example
5 cubic yards of concrete at $160 per cubic yard: Total cost = 5 × $160 = $800.

Pro Tips for Concrete Cost
- Ready-mix pricing often includes a minimum order charge or short-load fee for small orders below a truck's typical minimum — check with your supplier.
- This calculates material cost only; add labor, forms, and finishing costs separately for a full project budget.
Common Concrete Cost Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the material cost alone as the full project cost, without adding labor, forms, reinforcement, and finishing.
