Cement Consumption Calculator

Cement bags, sand and aggregate for any concrete volume — M5 to M25 nominal mixes.

Cement consumption per m³ of concrete

Quantities follow standard nominal-mix practice: dry volume is taken as 1.54 times the wet volume, and one 50 kg bag of cement is 0.0347 m³. For designed mixes or pumped concrete, follow the project's approved mix design.

Typical site values for nominal mixes; actual consumption varies with workability, wastage and admixtures.
