Cost to pour a concrete slab in Tampa, by source
No single page has the Tampa price; two decent ones exist, built different ways. projectcosted models cost from Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data (it lists a Tampa concrete wage of $26.69 an hour). HomeBlue publishes Tampa prices by slab size and thickness. Where they overlap, $6 to $11 per square foot, is the safest budget band.
| Source and date | Item | Price |
|---|---|---|
| projectcosted, Aug 2026 | Installed slab | $5.55 to $11.09 per sq ft |
| HomeBlue, Sep 2024 | Reinforced slab, 4 to 6 in | $6 to $11 per sq ft |
| HomeBlue, Sep 2024 | Unreinforced pad | $5 to $10 per sq ft |

Tampa slab cost by size
Bigger slabs cost more in total and usually a little less per foot, because the truck, the crew's travel and the forming setup are spread over more concrete. The table lines up both sources at the sizes people ask about.
| Size | projectcosted 2026 | HomeBlue 2024 (4 to 6 in, reinforced) |
|---|---|---|
| 10x10 (100 sq ft) | $555 to $1,109 (typical $832) | $900 to $1,500 |
| 20x20 (400 sq ft) | $2,219 to $4,438 (typical $3,328) | $3,500 to $6,100 |
| 20x30 (600 sq ft) | $3,330 to $6,654 (computed) | $5,300 to $9,100 |
| 30x30 (900 sq ft) | $4,995 to $9,981 (computed) | $8,000 to $13,700 |
| 1,000 sq ft | $5,547 to $11,095 (typical $8,321) | not listed |
| 30x40 (1,200 sq ft) | $6,660 to $13,308 (computed) | $10,600 to $18,200 |

What's inside a Tampa concrete slab quote
projectcosted's 400 square foot Tampa example splits like this. Labor is the biggest line, which is why access and finish matter more to the price than the concrete itself.
| Line | Share | Dollars at the typical $3,328 |
|---|---|---|
| Labor | 50% | $1,664 |
| Materials | 36% | $1,198 |
| Site prep and equipment | 8% | $266 |
| Overhead, disposal and finishing | 6% | $200 |

Tampa costs a national calculator misses
- A soil or geotechnical check on a house or large building pad in Sinkhole Alley
- Fill and compaction to raise a pad on a low or flood-prone lot
- Engineered anchors and thickened edges where a shed, carport or steel building ties down for 150 mph-plus wind
- A pump truck when the slab is behind a fenced Tampa backyard with no truck access
- Breaking out an old slab, $1.10 to $1.80 per square foot on HomeBlue's Tampa page
- Permit, site plan and sealed plans for a structure over 150 square feet in the county
- A lost morning when a summer storm rolls in early
Doing the math yourself
Concrete is sold by the cubic yard: length times width in feet, times thickness in inches divided by 12, all divided by 27. A 12x16 shed pad at 4 inches needs about 2.37 yards; at HomeBlue's Tampa ready-mix price that is roughly $277 to $332 in concrete alone. The Tampa concrete slab calculator does it for any size and adds the installed range.
