A two-car garage is often 24 × 24 ft. Thicker 5 or 6 in slabs suit heavy vehicles.

How it works

Cost = area (ft²) × installed price per ft², plus removal and sealing if you add them. Cubic yards = area × thickness (in) ÷ 12 ÷ 27.

Example: garage floor slab at 576 ft² comes to about $2,304 to $4,608 and takes 7.11 yd³ of concrete at 4 in thick.

Common questions

How much does a concrete slab cost per square foot?

HomeAdvisor puts a new slab at about $6 per square foot on average: $6 to $9 for patios and sidewalks, $6 to $12 for driveways and $12 to $18 for thick house foundations.

What makes concrete cost more?

Thickness, reinforcement, decorative finishes, difficult access, removing old concrete and small jobs with minimum charges all push the price up.

How much does stamped concrete cost?

HomeAdvisor puts stamped concrete at $8 to $26 per square foot depending on the pattern and colours.

Is it cheaper to buy bags or ready-mix?

Bags make sense for small jobs under about a cubic yard. For anything bigger, ready-mix delivered by truck is usually cheaper and much less work.
