Concrete for a 10×20 slab
A 10×20 ft slab at 4″ thick needs about 123 × 80 lb bags of concrete mix (with 10% waste) — or 2.75 cubic yards of ready-mix. Estimated materials cost ≈ $454 (ready-mix).
| Volume | 66.67 ft³ = 2.47 cu yd |
|---|---|
| 80 lb bags (no waste) | 112 |
| 80 lb bags (10% waste) | 123 |
| 60 lb bags (10% waste) | 163 |
| Ready-mix | 2.75 cu yd |
| Recommended | Order ready-mix |

Estimate for standard concrete mix (e.g. Quikrete #1101 / Sakrete High-Strength). Bag counts round up and include your overage %. Cost is an estimate (as of June 2026, US national average) — confirm bag price and ready-mix delivery (often a 1 yd³ minimum + short-load fees) with your supplier. Not a substitute for a structural engineer on load-bearing work.
The math: volume = 10 × 20 × (4 ÷ 12) = 66.67 ft³, then ÷ 27 = 2.47 cubic yards. An 80 lb bag yields 0.60 ft³. See the full concrete calculator for footings, columns, and other shapes.
