Estimate the total length of rebar needed for a grid-reinforced concrete slab.

How It Works

How Rebar Calculator Works

Rebar is laid in a crossing grid pattern across a slab — the calculator works out how many bars run in each direction based on your spacing, multiplies each set by the slab dimension it spans, and adds both directions together for the total length needed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What spacing should I use?
Residential slabs commonly use 12 to 18-inch spacing, but requirements depend on the slab's purpose and local building code — check your project's engineering specifications or local code before finalizing.
