Concrete Cost Calculator FAQ
How much is the yard of concrete?
The concrete per yard price typically costs $125–$200 per cubic yard for standard 3000 PSI ready-mix. High-strength mixes (4000–5000 PSI), fiber-reinforced, or specialty mixes cost more. Most suppliers also charge a short-load fee if you order less than 8–10 cubic yards.
How much does a concrete slab cost?
A basic 4-inch concrete slab costs $5–$10 per square foot installed (material + labor). For a 10×10 patio, that's $500–$1,000. For a 20×20 garage floor, expect $2,000–$4,000 depending on your location and whether you need site prep.
How much does a concrete driveway cost?
A standard 16×30 foot, 5-inch thick concrete driveway costs $2,000–$5,500 installed. Material alone (concrete + rebar) typically runs $700–$1,500. The rest is labor, forms, and finishing.
What is the cost of concrete per square foot?
The material cost of concrete per square foot ranges from $3.50–$7.50 for a standard 4-inch slab. Thicker slabs cost proportionally more. Installed cost including labor runs $5–$15 per square foot depending on complexity.
