Cómo usar esta calculadora

  1. Introduzca sus dimensiones — pies para longitudes, pulgadas 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

Total = volume × (1 + waste%) × (price + labor) + delivery

Ejemplo resuelto: 2 yd³ at $140 + $45 labor, $30 delivery, 5% waste: 2.1 × 185 + 30 = $418.50.

A concrete calculator with price fields beats a plain volume tool because volume is only half the invoice. US ready-mix runs $120–$180 per yd³ delivered; finishing labor adds $40–$60 per yd³ (or $2–$6 per ft² quoted by area); short-load fees of $50–$150 apply under about 4 yards.

As a concrete labor cost calculator: enter your finisher's per-yard rate, or set labor to 0 and price a DIY pour. Regional price gaps are large — get two local quotes and use this tool to compare them line by line.

Per-square-foot thinking: a 4-inch slab consumes 1/81 yd³ per ft², so $150/yd³ concrete ≈ $1.85 per square foot in material alone — before base, forms, reinforcement, labor and joints.
