Calculate concrete volume for a strip footing using total length, width, and depth.

Project

LENGTHWIDTH

Formula

How the result is calculated

Footing volume = total length × width × depth.

Worked example

Check the order logic

Combine separate footing runs as individual sections when their dimensions differ. The final order quantity totals them once.

Assumptions

Waste and supplier rounding stay editable

The launch defaults are 10% waste and upward rounding to 0.25 yd³ or 0.10 m³. Open “Adjust assumptions and costs” to use your supplier’s increment, actual prices, density, truck capacity, or product bag yield.
