Footing Concrete Calculator

Calculate concrete volume for isolated footings by length, width, depth, and quantity.

Footing Concrete Calculator Formula

  1. Footing VolumeLength × Width × Depth
  2. Total VolumeSingle footing volume × Quantity
  3. Wastage AllowanceTotal volume × (1 + Wastage ÷ 100)
  4. Supporting MetricsConvert m³ to ft³ for ordering

Assumptions

  • Footings are modelled as rectangular prisms with uniform depth.
  • Pedestal, column stub, and reinforcement volume are excluded.
  • Wastage covers over-excavation, spillage, and uneven base.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is footing depth?

Enter the vertical thickness of the concrete pad from the bottom of the footing to the top surface.

How much wastage should I add for footings?

5–10% is typical. Irregular excavation or stepped footings may need more.

Can I calculate strip footings?

For continuous strip footings, use length as the run and width as the strip width.
