Concrete Steps Calculator — Calculate Materials and Cost

Concrete Steps Calculator

Calculate materials and cost for building concrete steps with our comprehensive calculator. Estimate concrete, formwork, and labor expenses for your project.

Step 1: Step Dimensions

Standard Step Dimensions

Standard step rise is typically 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) and run is 10-12 inches (25-30 cm). These dimensions ensure comfortable and safe stairs.

Step 2: Materials & Cost

Concrete Volume Calculation

The calculator estimates concrete volume based on step dimensions and thickness. Additional 10% is added for waste and spillage to ensure you order enough material.

Volume Calculation Formula

Volume = (Step Count × Rise × Run × Width × Thickness) × Conversion Factor

For each step: Volume = Rise × Run × Width × Thickness. Total volume = Sum of all steps + 10% waste allowance. Convert to cubic yards by dividing by 46,656 for inches or 1,000,000 for centimeters.
