10×10 Concrete Slab Calculator
Start with a typical 4-inch slab below, compare common thicknesses, then customize the measurements in the full visual calculator.
10×10 slab at 4 inches thick
A 10×10 slab at 4 inches thick contains about 1.23 cubic yards before extra material. With a 10% allowance, plan for about 1.36 yd³; rounded to a quarter-yard ordering increment, that is 1.50 yd³.
How thickness changes the order
| Thickness | Concrete + 10% | Ready-mix order | 80-lb bags |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 in | 1.36 yd³ | 1.50 yd³ | 62 |
| 5 in | 1.70 yd³ | 1.75 yd³ | 77 |
| 6 in | 2.04 yd³ | 2.25 yd³ | 92 |
Thickness should be selected for the actual project and loading requirements; this comparison is for quantity planning, not structural design.
Use the quantity to plan how you will buy concrete
At 4 inches, this project is approximately 62 80-lb bags, 82 60-lb bags, or 123 40-lb bags. Large bag counts mean a substantial amount of mixing and handling, so compare bagged material with ready-mix delivery before purchasing.
The full BuildGauge Concrete Calculator also shows 40, 50, 60 and 80-lb bags, project weight, waste allowance and a visual slab diagram.
