How to use: Rebar Tie Wire Calculator

  1. Enter slab length and width and the bar spacing.
  2. Set the wire used per tie and the % of intersections tied.
  3. Read the total wire length and weight.

Formula

Intersections = nx × ny. Ties = intersections × ratio. Wire length = ties × wire-per-tie; weight uses ~1.6 mm wire.

Rebar Tie Wire Calculator — FAQ

How much tie wire do I need for rebar?

Allow roughly 250–350 mm of wire per tie; the tool totals it from your grid.

Do you tie every rebar intersection?

Often every intersection on edges and ~50% in the field — set the percentage to match.
