Worked example

10 ft × 12 ft = 120 sq ft. At 4 inches: 120 × 4 ÷ 12 = 40.00 cu ft, or 1.48 cubic yards. With 10% extra that is 1.63 yd³, or 74 bags of 80 lb mix.

At over 1 cubic yard, compare the cost and labor of bags against a ready-mix delivery.

Assumes standard concrete mix bag yields: 80 lb ≈ 0.60 cu ft, 60 lb ≈ 0.45 cu ft. Check the yield on your bag. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
