About the Rebar Calculator

Estimate reinforcement quantities from slab dimensions, spacing and the selected bar assumptions. This is a material-planning aid, not structural engineering design. Output includes the displayed bar and support estimates; it does not calculate wire-tie quantities or certify reinforcement suitability.

Features

  • Slab grid estimate
  • Bar spacing inputs
  • Material-planning output

How to use this tool

The Rebar Calculator works right in your browser — no signup, no installation. Follow these steps:

  1. Enter the slab length and width in feet.
  2. Set the on-center rebar spacing (commonly 16 or 24 in).
  3. Pick the rebar size and tick lap if you are splicing.
  4. Read off bar count, linear feet, weight and ties.
