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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
