How Concrete Bag Quantities Are Calculated

The calculator determines project volume in cubic feet, adds the selected waste allowance, and divides by the approximate yield of the selected bag size.

Approximate Bag Yields

Bag sizeApproximate yield
50 lb0.375 cubic feet
60 lb0.45 cubic feet
80 lb0.60 cubic feet

Confirm the yield printed on the product bag before purchasing.
