Concrete Price per Square Foot Calculator

Concrete Price Formula:

\[ C = (A \times D) \times P \]

Total Concrete Cost ($):

Definition: This calculator estimates the total cost of concrete based on the area to be covered, depth of concrete, and price per cubic foot.

Purpose: It helps homeowners and contractors budget for concrete projects by calculating material costs.

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ C = (A \times D) \times P \]

Where:

Explanation: The area multiplied by depth gives the volume in cubic feet, which is then multiplied by the price per cubic foot.

Details: Accurate cost estimation helps with project budgeting, comparing contractor quotes, and planning material purchases.

Tips: Enter the area in square feet, depth in feet, and price per cubic foot (default $4.50). All values must be > 0.

Q1: What's a typical concrete depth?
A: For driveways, 4 inches (0.33 ft); for sidewalks, 3-4 inches; for foundations, 6-8 inches or more.

Q2: How do I convert inches to feet for depth?
A: Divide inches by 12 (e.g., 4 inches = 4/12 = 0.33 ft).

Q3: What affects concrete price per cubic foot?
A: Regional variations, concrete mix type, delivery fees, and project size.

Q4: Does this include labor costs?
A: No, this calculates material costs only. Labor typically doubles the total project cost.

Q5: How do I calculate price per square foot?
A: Divide total cost by area (ft²) after using this calculator.
