Example

Example: 60 ft by 18 in by 9 in with 0% waste estimates about 2.500 cubic yards.

Avoid this mistake

Footings are structural. Verify loads, soil bearing, frost depth, reinforcement, drainage, settlement, inspections, and local code with qualified professionals.

Construction estimate note

Concrete and masonry calculators on ToolsBing are planning estimates only. Confirm dimensions, material yields, reinforcement, mix design, local code requirements, supplier coverage, delivery limits, and site conditions with a qualified contractor, engineer, supplier, or inspector before ordering or building.

MeaningPlanning quantity

This is a buying or planning estimate before supplier package-size checks.

Next stepVerify before ordering

Recheck dimensions, waste factor, material yield, and local construction requirements.

Formula and assumptions

Footing concrete = length × width × depth ÷ 27, adjusted for waste

Use this result as an early estimate. Real projects may require mix design, reinforcement review, subgrade preparation, moisture control, curing, delivery minimums, compaction, local code checks, and professional supervision.

Next useful step

Use the result without guessing

Before you act, run one real scenario and one conservative scenario.

Known input

60 ft length, 18 in width, 9 in depth, 0% waste.

Expected result

Displayed result should be about 2.500 cubic yards.

Method check

Cubic yards = length x width(in) / 12 x depth(in) / 12 / 27, then apply waste allowance. Allow +/- 0.01 cubic yards for rounding.

Check before using this result

Verify the inputs, units, assumptions, and any local rules that apply. For financial, health, engineering, or construction decisions, confirm the result with a qualified professional or an authoritative source.
