Cómo funciona
- 1
Convert wall thickness from inches to feet by dividing by 12.
- 2
Multiply length by height by thickness (in feet) to get cubic feet.
- 3
Divide cubic feet by 27 to convert to cubic yards.
- 4
The result is the concrete volume needed.
length * height * (thickness / 12) / 27Preguntas frecuentes
Why do I need to convert thickness to feet?
Because length and height are in feet, so thickness must be in feet to get cubic feet.
Should I add extra for waste?
It's common to add 5-10% for waste, but this calculator gives the theoretical volume.
What if my wall has openings?
Subtract the volume of openings from the total before ordering concrete.

- The result is the concrete volume needed.
Fórmulas
Las matemáticas detrás de esta calculadora, escritas para que puedas verificar el resultado.
Volume of a rectangular prism
Multiply length, height, and thickness (all in feet) to get volume in cubic feet.
Example:
Input: L=20 ft, H=9 ft, T=1 ft (12 in)
Calculation: 20 × 9 × 1 = 180 ft³
Result: 180 ft³ = 6.67 yd³
Casos de uso reales
Dónde aparece este cálculo en la vida cotidiana.
Estimating concrete order
Determine how many cubic yards of concrete to order for a basement wall.
Example: A 30 ft long, 9 ft high, 8 in thick wall needs about 6.67 yd³.
Budgeting material costs
Multiply the volume by the price per cubic yard to estimate cost.
Example: At $150/yd³, 6.67 yd³ costs about $1,000.
Comparing wall designs
See how changing thickness or height affects concrete volume.
Example: Increasing thickness from 8 to 12 inches adds about 3.33 yd³ for a 30×9 wall.
Consejos y errores comunes
Tips
- Always measure in feet for length and height, and inches for thickness.
- Add 5-10% extra for waste and spillage.
- Check with your supplier for local pricing and delivery fees.
- Consider using a concrete calculator for footings separately.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to convert thickness to feet.
- Using inches for all dimensions without conversion.
- Not accounting for openings or recesses.
Supuestos y limitaciones
- Use the stated inputs and units.
- Results are estimates for planning and education.
- Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
