What is included?
The calculator separates concrete material, delivery, labor and other costs so you can change assumptions independently. A contingency is applied to the subtotal rather than hidden inside the unit price.
material = quantity × price/yd³
subtotal = material + delivery + labor + other
budget = subtotal × (1 + contingency)
Why local pricing matters
Concrete prices vary by region, strength, mix design, minimum load, delivery distance, fuel charges, pumping and scheduling. Replace the example values with a current supplier quote.
Example
At 5 yd³ and $165/yd³, concrete material alone is $825. Delivery, labor and other costs are then added before contingency.
FAQ
Does this give a contractor quote?
No. It is an early planning tool. Contractor pricing can include mobilization, forming, reinforcement, finishing, pumping, permits and other scope items.
Should I include labor?
If you are comparing a self-perform scenario with a contractor budget, keep labor as a separate editable input rather than burying it in the concrete unit price.
