Masonry Core Grout Bag calculator.

Convert measured rectangular block-core voids scheduled for filling into grout bags. Enter net void dimensions and deduct known displaced volume; no filling or reinforcement schedule is chosen.

Your inputs

Metres, litres

Use measurements from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any prefilled values are illustrative.

Where to get this value

Use the usable coverage or mixed yield printed on your product label for the stated application. Do not substitute bag weight for finished volume.

Where to get this value

Enter your own allowance. Presets are input shortcuts, not a construction recommendation.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Convert measured rectangular block-core voids scheduled for filling into grout bags. Enter net void dimensions and deduct known displaced volume; no filling or reinforcement schedule is chosen. V = Σ[(core width × core depth × filled height × cores per unit × units − known displacement)]; bags = ceil(V × allowance / mixed bag yield).

V = Σ[(core width × core depth × filled height × cores per unit × units − known displacement)]; bags = ceil(V × allowance / mixed bag yield).Calculated with normalised units

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.

Counts quantities from an existing supplied specification. Does not design construction, certify safety, recommend application requirements or establish code compliance.

Example dimensions and product properties are illustrative arithmetic inputs only. Obtain actual yield, density and coverage from your selected supplier.

Method: dimensional arithmetic and user-supplied specifications. Software checks: 2026-10-08. Calculation and review policy.
