Concrete Cost Estimator
Estimate ready-mix concrete cost from the volume in cubic yards and your delivered price per yard, with an optional waste allowance.
How it works
adjustedYards = cubicYards x (1 + waste% / 100). cost = adjustedYards x pricePerYard.
Worked example
10 yd3 at $150/yd with no waste: cost = 10 x 150 = $1,500.
When to use it
- Delivered price often includes a short-load fee under 3-4 yd3 and possible fuel or overtime surcharges — confirm with your supplier.
- Pair with the concrete, footing, or column volume calculators to get the yardage first.
