How to calculate footing concrete volume
This calculator finds footing concrete volume by multiplying footing length by cross-sectional area — an alternative approach to the length × width × depth method, useful when you already have a combined cross-section figure.
How the calculation works
Volume = Footing length × Cross-section area.
Example
40 ft of footing with a 2 sq ft cross-section: Volume = 40 × 2 = 80 cubic feet, or about 2.96 cubic yards after dividing by 27.

Pro Tips for Footing Concrete Volume
- Make sure your cross-section area already reflects the actual footing width and depth per your structural plans.
- Convert the cubic-foot result to cubic yards (÷ 27) if that's how you're ordering ready-mix concrete.
Common Footing Concrete Volume Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to convert the raw cubic-foot result to cubic yards before placing a ready-mix order, which is typically quoted and sold in cubic yards.
