Concrete Material Cost Calculator (per m³)
Estimate the material cost of one cubic metre of concrete. Enter quantities (or arrive from the calculator pre-filled) and your local rates. Sand and aggregate can be priced per tonne, m³ or kg.

Cost summary
How to use this cost estimate in Europe
This page prices the materials in one cubic metre of your calculated mix using your own rates. It is best used to compare mix options — cement type, SCM content, aggregate size — before asking a producer for a delivered price.
- Enter local rates in your currency, net or gross of VAT consistently. VAT rates and aggregate taxes differ between countries.
- Match the unit to the quote — tonnes for aggregates and bulk cement, bags for site-batched cement, litres or kilograms for admixtures. Use the bulk-density field to convert volume-priced aggregate.
- Include a waste allowance appropriate to the pour: small or complex pours usually need more than large slabs.
What the delivered price adds
Ready-mixed concrete prices in Europe typically include plant costs, delivery, small-load surcharges, waiting time, pumping and seasonal surcharges such as winter concreting. For small volumes these can exceed the material cost. Use this page to understand how the mix design drives material cost and a producer's quotation for the final price.
