Concrete Volume Calculator
How much concrete do I need?
Whether you're setting posts, laying pads, or pouring a small slab, our Concrete Volume Calculator helps you work out how many bags of Strongcrete Concrete you'll need for the job. Just pop in your dimensions and let the calculator crunch the numbers, so you don’t end up short (or with a mountain of mix left over).
Perfect for DIY jobs and tradie setups alike. Whether it’s for a small footpaths, fence posts, or pergola slabs.
Disclaimer:
This calculator is a guide only and assumes standard site conditions and consistent pour depth. Actual volumes may vary based on ground compaction, surface levelling, waste, and real-world surprises like voids or trenches.
Always allow for a little extra. We recommend rounding up or adding 5–10% buffer to cover miscalculations or spillage.
WBS Henderson provides timber and concrete gear - not structural engineering advice. For large-scale or critical pours, consult a qualified professional.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about our company.
Our concrete volume calculator makes it simple. Just enter the dimensions of your project (length, width, and depth), select the shape (slab, round, square, etc.), and the tool will calculate the total volume for you in cubic metres.
The calculator is designed for common shapes like slabs, squares, and round areas. For irregular shapes, we recommend breaking the area into sections and calculating each separately, then summing the volumes.
Dimensions should be entered in metres for length and width, and either metres or millimetres for depth, depending on the calculator options. The result will be displayed in cubic metres (m³).
No, the calculator provides the exact volume needed for the dimensions entered. It’s recommended to add 5–10% extra concrete to account for spillage, uneven surfaces, or miscalculations.
Yes, the round and square options are ideal for calculating concrete needed for posts, footings, and columns. Enter the diameter or width and depth to get the volume.
The calculator gives a precise mathematical volume based on your inputs. Always double-check your measurements and add extra for practical use. For large or critical projects, consult a professional for exact requirements.
