    Reinforcement design must be done by a qualified structural engineer. This tool gives a budgeting estimate only.

    How this calculator works

    • Steel weight = concrete volume × typical kg per m³ for the element.
    • Bar weight per metre = d² ÷ 162 (d in mm).

    Frequently asked questions

    Often 1.5 to 2.5 kg per square foot for residential slabs, but it depends on span and design.

    Rate-based estimates are averages. A bar bending schedule gives exact lengths, laps and hooks.
