Volume with a safety margin

Volume = length × width × depth, with depth converted to feet and the result divided by 27 for cubic yards. Pros order 10% extra — subgrade dips and spillage always eat some — because a short pour mid-slab is far costlier than a little surplus.

Bags vs. ready-mix

An 80 lb bag yields about 0.6 cubic feet, so a 10×10 ft slab at 4 inches needs ~56 bags — around a truck-order threshold. Above roughly one cubic yard, ready-mix delivery usually wins on both labor and consistency; bags win for post holes and small pads.
