Estimate outputs: Area, Volume, Estimated mass. Adjust Length, Width, Layer depth to match your project.

Inputs and units

Use the units shown beside each field. Replace the sample values with your measurements and the figures on the selected product packaging.

ParameterExample input
Length8 m
Width4 m
Layer depth10 cm
Material density1,550 kg/m³
Waste allowance8 %

Formula and assumptions

Volume
Length × Width × Layer depth / 100 × (1 + Waste allowance / 100)

Estimated mass
Volume × Material density / 1000

ceil = round up; floor = round down; max = the greater value. Trigonometric angles are converted from degrees to radians.

Allowance is applied before rounding to whole packages. Whole units are rounded up; displayed decimals are rounded only for readability.

Bulk density and compaction vary with moisture and the delivered material. The allowance does not model compaction; obtain the ordering conversion from your supplier.
