How to use the Floor Screed Calculator

The Floor Screed Calculator works out your screed volume, along with 1 related figure in an instant. Enter floor length, floor width and screed thickness and the result updates as you type — it is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser so your figures stay private.

  1. Enter the floor length.
  2. Enter the floor width.
  3. Enter the screed thickness.
  4. Enter the screed density.
  5. Read off your screed volume, together with screed weight — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.

Formula

The Floor Screed Calculator uses the formula:

Screed volume = Floor length × Floor width × Screed thickness ÷ 1000

Worked example

For example, with floor length of 10 m, floor width of 5 m, screed thickness of 50 mm and screed density of 2.2 t/m³, the screed volume is 2.500.

Inputs used
Floor length 10 m
Floor width 5 m
Screed thickness 50 mm
Screed density 2.2 t/m³
Results
Screed volume 2.500
Screed weight 5.50

Results are estimates for educational use, not professional advice.

Key terms explained

Density
Mass per unit volume, calculated as mass ÷ volume.
Volume
The amount of three-dimensional space an object occupies, measured in cubic units.

Frequently asked questions

Multiply floor area by thickness. A 10×5 m floor at 50 mm needs 2.5 m³ of screed.

Bonded screed is often 25–40 mm; unbonded or floating screed is usually 50–75 mm.

At about 2.2 t/m³, 2.5 m³ of sand-cement screed weighs around 5.5 tonnes.

Yes. Add a small margin for uneven sub-floors and wastage during mixing and laying.
