Concrete Steps (Stairs)

Calculate the amount of concrete needed for stairs on a slope between two elevations. The volume is calculated from the stair riser height, the run length, the stairs width, and the throat depth of the stairs. The number of risers equals the number of steps.

This calculator uses inches for measurements.

When Ordering Concrete

This concrete calculator will help you in estimating the amount of concrete needed for your project. The amount given as needed, does not include any waste. It is recommended, depending on the job you are doing, to add anywhere from an extra 4% to 10% to your concrete order to make sure you have enough concrete to finish the job.
