20×30 concrete slab: what to expect

A 20×30 slab covers 600 square feet. At the standard 4" thickness it takes about 8.15 cubic yards of concrete once you allow 10% for waste, which is roughly 367 × 80 lb bags if you mix by hand. Stepping up to 6" — sensible if it'll carry a vehicle — raises that to about 12.22 cubic yards.

Budget around $3,300 – $7,200 to have a 4" slab this size poured and finished by a contractor, or roughly $1,079 – $1,723 in ready-mix if you're doing the labor yourself. On top of the concrete you'll need about 8.52 yd³ of gravel base and 42 sticks of rebar.
