Simple Calculator Formula

Base Calculation Components

  • Primary Formula:
    • Total Concrete Volume = Base Volume × Project Size Factor × Slab Complexity Factor
  • Base Volume:
    • Starting point: 10 cubic yards
    • Provides fundamental volume estimation baseline
  • Project Size Factors:
    • Small Project (up to 100 sq ft): 1.0 multiplier
    • Medium Project (100-250 sq ft): 1.5 multiplier
    • Large Project (250-500 sq ft): 2.0 multiplier
  • Slab Complexity Factors:
    • Simple Layout: 1.0 multiplier
    • Average Complexity: 1.5 multiplier
    • Complex Layout: 2.0 multiplier

Calculation Example

Total Volume = 10 cubic yards × (Project Size Factor) × (Slab Complexity Factor)
