Formula used

Rebar grid length = bars running length × clear length + bars running width × clear width + lap overlaps
Unit note: All measurements are converted to feet before calculation. This tool estimates material quantity only. Rebar design, spacing, cover, and splice length should be confirmed by your engineer, local code, or project drawings.
