25 kg Concrete Calculator

This 25 kg concrete calculator converts your pour's dimensions straight into a bag count: one 25 kg bag yields about 12.5 litres (0.0125 m³) of mixed concrete, so the tool divides your volume by that yield and rounds up with waste.

Cómo usar esta calculadora

  1. Introduzca sus dimensiones — metros para longitudes, centímetros para el espesor.
  2. Ajuste las opciones — porcentaje de desperdicio, tamaño de la bolsa y el precio local del hormigón.
  3. Lea sus resultados — el volumen, las bolsas, el peso y el costo se actualizan en vivo mientras escribe.

La fórmula

Bags = volume ÷ 12.5 litres (0.0125 m³) per bag, rounded up (+5–10% waste)

Ejemplo resuelto: A 3 m × 3 m slab at 10 cm = 0.9 m³ → 0.9 ÷ 0.0125 ≈ 72 × 25 kg bags before waste.

The 25 kg bag dominates UK builders' merchants. For a concrete calculator 25kg bags estimate, the mixed yield is about 12.5 litres per bag — 80 bags per cubic meter. Postcrete-style rapid-set 25 kg bags yield slightly less; check the bag if you're setting posts.

Reference numbers for 25 kg bags: 62 bags make one cubic yard, 80 bags make one cubic meter. Keep those in your head at the store and you can sanity-check any estimate.

Bagged concrete makes sense up to roughly one cubic yard. Beyond that, price out ready-mix — mixing 45+ bags by hand is a full day of hard labor and the per-yard cost usually favors the truck.
