$7.00 to $17.50 per square foot

Concrete driveway cost has a typical figure of $12.25 per square foot, within a sourced range of $7.00 to $17.50 per square foot. The range comes from two sources, Angi and HomeGuide. Angi prices replacement, HomeGuide prices installation, and Angi's figures run higher at both ends. Multiply by the area of your slab for a starting budget, not a quote.

Installed price per square foot

The figure covers pouring a concrete driveway, priced per square foot. It combines one range from each source; neither states an average, so typical is the median of the two midpoints. Removing an old driveway, grading, sealing, rebar and permits are priced by one source only and are listed below rather than added.

Estimate your driveway

To measure, multiply the length of the driveway by its width in feet to get the area of the slab in square feet. Add separate areas such as a parking pad. Enter that area and pick an area level; it chooses a part of the sourced range, not a local price.

Assumptions

  • Installed base: Concrete driveway, installed.
  • Quantity: 400 square feet.
  • Per-square foot prices are multiplied by 400; flat extras are added once and per-square foot extras once for each square foot.
  • Average area level uses low-to-typical and typical-to-high midpoints as bounds, with the sourced typical unchanged.
  • No applicable extras included.
  • Extras are added in full, and sourced installed ranges are treated as not including them.
  • Labor rows are informational only and are not added to installed costs.

Where these numbers come from

The range comes from two sources, Angi and HomeGuide. Their dates and scope notes are shown below. The checked date records when the dataset was reviewed, not a promise that prices are unchanged.

The low and high are the medians of the published bounds. For two sources, the median is the mean of the pair. Typical is the median of the source midpoints, because neither source states an average. Per square foot figures round to the nearest quarter dollar below twenty dollars and the nearest dollar from twenty up to one hundred. The estimator multiplies them by your area and rounds totals to twenty-five-dollar steps below a thousand dollars and fifty-dollar steps at or above it, with exact halves rounded up.

How we calculate

Questions people ask

What is a typical concrete driveway cost per square foot?

The typical figure is $12.25 per square foot, within $7.00 to $17.50 per square foot, combined from Angi and HomeGuide.

How do I measure my driveway?

Multiply the length by the width in feet to get the area of the slab in square feet, then add any separate pads. The estimator multiplies that area by the per square foot figures.

What does the whole project cost?

Angi gives a total project cost of $1,600 to $32,000, with an average of $6,400. That is a single-source figure, so it is not combined with the range on this page.

Does the finish change the price?

Yes. HomeGuide gives plain gray at $6 to $10 per square foot, installed and stamped at $8 to $26 per square foot, installed. Angi lists a plain finish at $6 to $8 per square foot, with an average of $7 but does not say whether its finish prices include installation.

Does a thicker slab cost more?

HomeGuide gives a four-inch slab at $6 to $15 per square foot, installed and a six-inch slab at $8 to $20 per square foot, installed.

Is removing the old driveway included?

Not in the range above. HomeGuide prices removing the old driveway at $2 to $6 per square foot and grading at $3 to $8 per square foot.

How to read this estimate: it is a planning range for the area you enter, not a quote. Compare written quotes for the same area, thickness and finish, and ask whether removal, grading, rebar, sealing and permits are included. Keep the source dates beside the comparison.
