40×60 concrete slab: what to expect

A 40×60 slab covers 2,400 square feet. At the standard 4" thickness it takes about 32.59 cubic yards of concrete once you allow 10% for waste, which is roughly 1,467 × 80 lb bags if you mix by hand. Stepping up to 6" — sensible if it'll carry a vehicle — raises that to about 48.89 cubic yards.

Budget around $13,200 – $28,800 to have a 4" slab this size poured and finished by a contractor, or roughly $4,074 – $6,193 in ready-mix if you're doing the labor yourself. On top of the concrete you'll need about 34.07 yd³ of gravel base and 163 sticks of rebar.
