Calculate the ROI of Your Concrete Projects
This concrete project calculator takes your project details and shows what each mixing method costs you in labor, rental, and ready-mix fees, then shows how fast a MudMixer pays that back. Enter six numbers and the tool does the rest:
- Your hourly labor rate per worker
- Average job size in cubic yards or bags
- Crew size for mixing
- Jobs per month
- Current mixer rental cost
- Concrete truck minimum fees you absorb
From there you get an accurate estimate of your monthly savings, your payback period, and how many extra jobs you can run on the same crew. Run the numbers for one project type, then switch the quick-start tabs to compare a fence post job against a slab pour or a commercial job.
Savings By Project Type
Fence Posts
A standard residential fence post takes about one bag of fast-setting mix, so a long run of holes turns into a full day of hand mixing, while a MudMixer pours each footing in a continuous line and keeps the crew setting posts.
Footers
Most residential footers land in the 1-to-4 cubic yard dead zone, too much to hand-mix and too little for a ready mix truck minimum, so mixing on site pours them at full strength with no surcharge or leftover yardage.
Foundations
A foundation sets the structural base, so it has to reach full strength on schedule, and a MudMixer feeds a steady, consistent mix into the forms without waiting on a truck or risking a cold joint between batches.
Slabs
A concrete slab is the most common flat pour, running 4 to 6 inches thick depending on load and code, and a MudMixer keeps the supply moving so you place and finish a patio, driveway, or garage floor before the first batch sets up.
Decks / Patios
A small patio and a handful of deck footings rarely add up to a truck-worthy load, so a MudMixer gives you ready-mix consistency on an outdoor slab without the truck and without mixing forty bags by hand.
Commercial Use
Commercial pours run on volume and a clock, and the MudMixer Pro pushes over 3 cubic yards per hour of continuous output so the crew places concrete instead of waiting on the next truck.
