Reinforcement steel wastage calculator
Compare the weight of steel in your bar bending schedule with what the store issued for the same work.
How the sum works
The steel needed is the weight from the bar bending schedule for the work completed.
The excess is the steel issued minus that weight. Offcuts and laps beyond the schedule fall inside your wastage allowance; anything above it needs an explanation.
Leave the second field at 1000 unless your schedule is in a different unit.
This is one site, one day
ERP Infra does the same sum for every site and every material, every day, from what the site already enters.

- How is steel wastage calculated on site?
- Subtract the bar bending schedule weight for the completed work from the steel issued, and divide by the schedule weight. 44,600 kg issued against 42,000 kg scheduled is 2,600 kg over, or 6.2%.
- Where does steel go missing?
- In offcuts that are not reused, bars cut to the wrong length, steel moved to another site without a record, and scrap sold without being weighed.
