Concrete Weight Calculator
Concrete Weight Calculator
Estimate the weight of concrete by cubic yards, cubic feet, slab dimensions, bag counts, or truckload volume. Convert concrete volume into pounds, tons, and approximate hauling weight.
Default yard weight
4,050 lb / yd³
Default foot weight
150 lb / ft³
Output
lb + tons
Quick estimates
Use this for planning only. Verify actual weights before hauling, loading trailers, ordering dumpsters, or checking equipment limits.
Calculate concrete weight
Choose a volume method, adjust concrete density, and estimate weight in pounds, US tons, kilograms, and metric tons.
Density note
Normal-weight concrete is often estimated around 145 to 150 lb/ft³. Actual density can vary by aggregate, mix design, moisture, air content, and reinforcement.

Use this as an estimate only. Confirm actual weight before hauling, demolition disposal, trailer loading, crane planning, or structural checks.
Estimate concrete weight
Convert concrete volume into pounds and tons for planning, hauling, delivery, and disposal.
Use yards or dimensions
Calculate from cubic yards, cubic feet, slab dimensions, bag counts, or truckload volume.
Adjust density
Change density assumptions for lightweight, normal-weight, or heavier concrete mixes.
How much does concrete weigh?
Normal-weight concrete is commonly estimated at about 145 to 150 pounds per cubic foot, or roughly 4,000 to 4,100 pounds per cubic yard. This calculator uses 150 pounds per cubic foot and 4,050 pounds per cubic yard as default estimating values.
Concrete weight can change based on aggregate type, water content, air entrainment, reinforcement, and mix design. Lightweight concrete weighs less, while heavyweight mixes can weigh more.
For hauling, demolition, disposal, or trailer loading, use the result as a planning estimate only. Always confirm actual capacity limits and disposal weight rules before moving material.
Common concrete weight examples
Concrete weight calculator FAQs
How much does one yard of concrete weigh?
A common estimate for normal-weight concrete is about 4,050 pounds per cubic yard, or a little over 2 tons.
How much does a 10 yard concrete truck weigh?
Ten cubic yards of concrete alone can weigh about 40,500 pounds before accounting for the truck weight.
How much does a 4 inch slab weigh?
A 4 inch slab weighs about 50 pounds per square foot using 150 pounds per cubic foot as the density estimate.
Can this be used for demolition debris?
Yes for rough planning, but demolition debris can include reinforcement, soil, moisture, and broken material voids, so actual disposal weight can differ.
