Concrete Cost Calculator

Estimate what your pour will cost, using your own supplier's price per cubic metre.

Your result

Enter your dimensions and price above to see an estimated cost.

An estimate, not a quote.

This calculator multiplies your volume by the price you enter. It has no knowledge of your supplier's rates, minimum charges, delivery zones or current pricing. Get a written quote before you commit.

Why the calculator charges you for the rounded volume

Because that is what you will actually be invoiced for. Suppliers sell in increments — commonly 0.2 m³ — so a job needing 2.31 m³ is ordered and billed as 2.4 m³. Calculating cost from the raw volume consistently under-estimates the bill.

Where to get a rate

This calculator needs a price per cubic metre, and we deliberately do not supply one. Concrete rates move, and they differ by state, by metro versus regional, by supplier and by mix — a figure published here would be wrong for most readers and wrong for everyone within a year.

Ring two local suppliers, ask for their rate for the mix you need, and put that figure in above.

Before you ring, it is worth knowing what the price is actually made of and what the quote will leave out — the concrete itself is often less than half the cost of a finished slab. That is covered in detail in how much does concrete cost in Australia, along with what to tell a supplier so they can price it quickly, and why a supplier's quote and a concreter's quote cannot be compared directly.
