Potting Soil Bag Calculator
Work out how much potting mix it takes to fill your containers so you buy the right number of bags. Enter the diameter and height of a round pot in inches, or switch to a rectangular planter and enter its dimensions, then tell the calculator how many identical pots you are filling. It computes the volume of each container, converts it to quarts and cubic feet, and totals it across all pots. Potting mix is usually sold by the quart or cubic foot bag, so it also shows how many bags to grab for your chosen size. Filling to about an inch below the rim leaves room for watering, which this estimate roughly allows for. Everything is calculated instantly in your browser with no signup.

Frequently asked questions
How does it compute potting mix for a container?
It calculates the pot volume from your size and shape, multiplies by the number of pots, and converts the total into quarts of potting mix.
How are quarts turned into bags?
It divides the total quarts by the quarts printed on a standard potting mix bag, giving an estimated number of bags to buy.
Why does pot shape change the amount?
A tapered or round pot holds less than a straight-sided one of the same top diameter, so choosing the correct shape gives a more accurate volume.
