Your inputs

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

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

The main slab covers the whole footprint. Only thickness beyond that slab is added over the perimeter band; all dimensions must come from an existing plan.

V = LWT + [LW − (L−2b)(W−2b)](Te−T)Calculated with normalised units
