BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Bag weight does not determine mixed yield. Enter your product’s stated yield. Do not reapply waste to an already adjusted volume.

Bags = ceil(volume × (1 + waste) ÷ bag yield)Calculated with normalised units

A worked example

Illustrative inputs only. Product properties and design dimensions are not recommendations for your project.

Concrete volume before waste
1 m³
Yield per bag
25 L/bag
Waste allowance
10 %

Bags to purchase: 44 bags

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
