Wall Concrete Calculator
Reviewed by Engr. Talha Tariq | PEC License #: PEC-CIVIL-37815 | Last updated: 2025-10-24
Calculate wall concrete volume quickly and accurately. Enter wall length, height and thickness, subtract openings (doors/windows), choose units, and add waste to get ordering values in m³ and yd³ (ft³ available).
Estimate concrete for straight walls with optional door/window openings. Results appear after you press Calculate.
Enter values above and press Calculate to reveal results.
Key Features of Our Free Wall Concrete Calculator
Length/Height in meters or feet; thickness in meters, centimeters, or inches. All conversions are handled internally.
Subtract doors, windows, and vents automatically using width × height × thickness × count for each opening.
Select 1:1.5:3, 1:2:4, or 1:3:6. The tool applies a 1.54 dry-factor, computes cement (bags), sand, aggregate, and water.
Enter w/c (e.g., 0.5). Water is calculated in liters (≈ kg) from cement mass.
Switch the display unit for net volume. A Yardage helper shows +5% and +10% for supplier rounding.
Inputs → Openings → Results. Outputs appear only after Calculate, keeping data entry focused.
Estimate cost by rate per m³ or by materials (cement bags, sand m³, aggregate m³).
Export an A4-friendly summary with inputs, volumes, materials, yardage, and cost.
Why Choose Our Wall Concrete Calculator?
- Purpose-built for straight concrete walls with accurate opening subtraction.
- Consistent unit handling across m/ft and m/cm/in—no manual conversions.
- Real-world allowances via dry-volume factor (1.54) and material breakdown for procurement.
- Yardage (+5% / +10%) mirrors ready-mix ordering and truck rounding.
- Printable results and optional costing streamline budgets and approvals.
How to Use the Wall Concrete Calculator
- Select Length, Height, and Thickness with their units (m/ft for L & H; m/cm/in for thickness).
- Pick a Nominal Mix (1:1.5:3, 1:2:4, or 1:3:6) and enter the Water–Cement Ratio (e.g., 0.5).
- Open the Openings tab to add doors/windows/vents with Width, Height, and Count.
- Choose your Output Volume Unit (m³/ft³/yd³) and press Calculate.
- Review Net Volume, Materials (dry volume, cement bags, sand, aggregate, water), and the Yardage helper (+5% / +10%).
- (Optional) Use Cost Estimation by rate per m³ or by materials, then Print / Save your results.
Formulas Used in the Calculator
- Gross Wall Volume = Length × Height × Thickness
- Opening Volume (each) = Opening Width × Opening Height × Thickness
- Net Concrete Volume = Gross − Σ(Openings)
All dimensions are converted to a common base unit before multiplication.
- Dry Volume = Net × 1.54
- Mix parts: Cement : Sand : Aggregate (e.g., 1:2:4)
- Cement Volume = (Cement / PartsSum) × Dry Volume
- Sand Volume = (Sand / PartsSum) × Dry Volume
- Aggregate Volume = (Aggregate / PartsSum) × Dry Volume
- Cement Mass (kg) = Cement Volume × 1440 kg/m³
- Bags = Cement Mass ÷ 50 kg
- Water (liters ≈ kg) = (w/c) × Cement Mass
- ft³ = m³ × 35.3147
- yd³ = m³ × 1.30795
- Yardage helpers: yd³(+5%), yd³(+10%)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix units when entering dimensions?
Use meters or feet for length and height, and meters/centimeters/inches for thickness. The tool converts internally—just keep each field’s unit consistent with its selector.
How are openings handled?
Each opening’s volume is width × height × wall thickness × count. The calculator subtracts the total of all openings from the gross wall volume.
Which nominal mixes are available?
1:1.5:3, 1:2:4, and 1:3:6 by volume. The calculator uses a 1.54 dry-volume factor to derive ingredient volumes.
How do you compute cement bags and water?
Cement volume (from mix split) is converted to mass using 1440 kg/m³, then divided by 50 kg/bag. Water = w/c × cement mass, reported in liters.
Can I view the result in cubic yards?
Yes. Set the output unit to yd³. A helper also shows yd³ with +5% and +10% additions for ordering.
Is cost estimation included?
Yes. Choose Rate per m³ or By Materials to get a quick cost; you control unit rates and bag price.
Can I print or save the results?
