◆ Recommended: 4 in thick · 3,000–4,000 PSI mix
Higher load can need more thickness.
Weak base can increase thickness.
Does not reduce thickness in this estimate.
Enter a length greater than 0.
Enter a width greater than 0.
10% is common for normal jobs. Waste cannot be negative.
Optional cost per cubic yard. Price cannot be negative.
Use waste volume for safer ordering.

Residential slab recommendation: 4 in thick · 3,000–4,000 PSI mix. This is a planning estimate. Ask an engineer for heavy loads, weak soil, or code-controlled work.

Formula used

The report includes these same steps.

Thickness rule: Base floor thickness + load adjustment + subbase adjustment

Volume formula: Volume = Length × Width × Recommended Thickness

Unit note: All measurements are converted to feet before volume is calculated.
