Concrete Driveway Cost Calculator
Estimate concrete driveway cost from length, width, thickness, and finish — with optional old-slab removal. Click any i for detail.
Your driveway
Length (ft)
i
Length
Distance along the drive from street or apron to the far end. |
|
|---|---|
Width (ft)
i
Width
Paved width — often 10–12 ft single-car or 18–24 ft shared. |
|
Slab thickness
i
Thickness
Four inches is common for cars. Thicker slabs suit heavier loads. |
|
Finish
i
Finish
Broom is standard traction. Colored and stamped finishes add decorative cost. |
|
Your state
i
Your state
Scales midpoints for typical state-level labor and material costs versus the U.S. average. Not a local contractor bid. |
Options
How to use this calculator
- Enter length and width for the paved footprint.
- Choose thickness and finish.
- Pick your state.
- Toggle tear-out if replacing an existing slab.
Results explained
The headline is an installed midpoint for a new slab over a workable base. Tear-out appears when checked.
Quick reference: concrete driveway rates
U.S.-average installed midpoints per sq ft (broom finish baseline) before state scaling.
| Thickness / finish add-on | Per sq ft |
|---|---|
| 4 in broom | $8.50 |
| 5 in broom | $10.25 |
| 6 in broom | $12.50 |
| Colored add-on | +$2.25 |
| Stamped add-on | +$4.50 |
Old concrete removal ≈ $3/sq ft. Example 40×12 (480 sq ft) at 4 in broom ≈ $4,080 before state scaling.
How the estimate is built
(Thickness rate + finish add-on) × length × width, plus optional removal, then state scaling.
Example scenario
A 40×12 ft, 4 in broom drive at U.S. average is about $4,080. Stamped instead adds ~$2,160 ≈ $6,240.
FAQ
Asphalt vs concrete?
Different materials and maintenance. Use the asphalt calculator for blacktop comparisons.
Is rebar included?
Typical residential reinforcement is assumed inside the midpoint — confirm with your pour crew.
Control joints?
Usually included in a standard broom pour; decorative saw-cutting can add cost.
