Project inputs
Enter field measurements. Imperial lengths take feet and inches. Unit conversion happens before the reviewed formula is applied.
All values can be refined when you edit the estimate. This tool does not replace field verification or local requirements.
Transparent cost view
Planning rates only. Pick a currency — badges, inputs, and totals follow. Material is a rate. Labour is hours × a planning hourly rate. Equipment and delivery are this-job amounts.
Planning defaults are office figures, not a bid. US ready-mix in 2026 often lands around $125–165 per cubic yard delivered; place-and-finish commonly $2–4 per square foot. Replace every rate with a supplier or crew quote before you send the letter.

How this calculator works
A transparent pool volume takeoff.
Rectangular waterline length × width × average depth, or circular area × average depth, converted at 7.48052 US gallons per cubic foot. Average depth is the mean of the shallow and deep ends.
Worked example. Example: a 32 × 16 ft rectangle averaging 5 ft deep holds about 19,150 US gallons.
- 1. Measure the waterline, not the deck.
- 2. Average the shallow and deep ends. Using only the deep end overstates the fill.
- 3. Freeform pools should be split into rectangles and a circle, then added on the estimate.

Questions
Questions about pool volume
Is this a chemical dose?
No. Gallons are a fill and turnover planning number. Sanitizer, salt and CYA doses belong on the product label.
Hot tub or spa?
Same math. Enter the waterline and the true average depth, which is often less than the advertised max.
What is the formula ID?
This calculator publishes formula LND-POL-001, version 1.0.0. The ID stays on the result and on the estimate line.
Is this engineering advice?
No. Construclytic is a planning website, not a registered engineering or contracting firm. Field checks, codes and product data still sit with you.
Does Construclytic fetch live supplier prices?
No. Costs use the rate you enter. Construclytic does not fetch live supplier prices.
