Cement Calculator - Concrete & Mortar Estimation
Common Ratios: M15 (1:2:4), M20 (1:1.5:3), M25 (1:1:2)
Input dimensions & ratio
About This Tool
Accurately estimating cement is critical for any construction project to avoid material shortages or wastage. The Cement Calculator helps you determine the exact number of 50kg cement bags required for different types of work, including concrete casting (foundations, columns, slabs) and mortar for brickwork or plastering. It automatically accounts for the dry volume coefficient (1.54 for concrete, 1.33 for mortar) to convert wet volume to dry mix, ensuring your material orders are spot-on. Whether you are using M20 grade for a slab or a 1:4 ratio for wall plaster, this tool provides precise quantities. This tool has become indispensable for construction professionals across India, from small contractors to large construction firms. It accounts for industry-standard specifications and local building codes, ensuring your estimates are accurate and reliable. The calculator helps prevent costly mistakes like material shortages mid-project or excessive wastage that impacts your budget. Whether you're bidding on a project, planning a renovation, or managing a large construction site, this tool provides the precision you need for successful project execution. It saves hours of manual calculations and reduces the risk of human error in critical construction planning.
How to Use This Tool
Select Work Type
Choose between Concrete, Brickwork, or Plaster.
Enter Dimensions
Input the Length, Width, and Thickness/Depth of the area.
Choose Mix Ratio
Select standard grades (e.g., M20) or enter a custom ratio.
Calculate
Get the total volume and required cement bags instantly.
Key Features
- Precise Estimation: Uses industry-standard dry volume factors.
- Cost Saving: Prevents over-ordering of perishable cement.
- Versatile: Works for concrete mixes, masonry, and plastering.
- Multiple Units: Input dimensions in feet, meters, or inches.
- Grade Selection: Support for various concrete grades (M10, M15, M20, M25).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight of 1 bag of cement?
Standard cement bags in India weigh 50 kg. The volume of one bag is approximately 1.226 cubic feet (0.0347 cubic meters).
Does it account for wastage?
The calculator gives the theoretical requirement. We recommend adding 5-10% extra for wastage during handling and mixing.
