How to use the patio cost calculator
- Measure the finished patio and add leftover shapes as extra square feet.
- Pick the surface — poured concrete, stamped concrete, concrete or brick pavers, or natural stone / flagstone.
- Switch on tear-out if an old slab or paver bed has to come out, and say which one it is.
A driveway is priced on the driveway cost calculator. A shed or garage pad is on the slab cost calculator. Paver unit counts and the gravel base under them stay on the paver calculator.
Installed prices by surface
Each typical rate is the median of the guides’ central values. Fixr’s patio table is from August 2022, so it is the oldest of the three and is labeled as such in the comparison.
| Surface | Typical (median) | Spread of central values | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poured concrete | $11.50 | $10.00–$11.50 | HomeGuide $5–$15, Fixr $6–$17, Concrete Network patio $5–$18 |
| Stamped concrete | $15.00 | $13.50–$22.50 | HomeGuide $8–$19, Fixr $15–$30, Concrete Network $10–$20 |
| Concrete or brick pavers | $16.50 | $13.50–$17.50 | HomeGuide $10–$17, Angi $8–$25, Fixr $10–$25 |
| Natural stone / flagstone | $22.50 | $19.00–$25.50 | HomeGuide $16–$35, Angi $3–$35, Fixr $15–$30 |
Angi’s $3–$8 per sq ft for poured and stamped concrete is the same range for both finishes and sits well below the other installed-price guides, so it is not averaged into those two typicals. HomeGuide’s figures assume an existing, level, well-draining base; grading and a new gravel base are extra.
A worked example: 12 × 16 ft poured patio
A 12 × 16 ft patio is 192 sq ft. At $11.50 per sq ft the typical installed cost is $2,208, with a spread of $1,920–$2,208 on the three-guide median. The same patio in pavers is typically 192 × $16.50 = $3,168, and in stone 192 × $22.50 = $4,320, before tear-out.
Sources & assumptions
How this calculator gets its numbers. Full method: our methodology.
- Typical price is the median of three guides’ central values for each surface. Angi $3–$8 for poured and stamped is omitted from those two typicals because it is inconsistent and far below the other installed-price guides.
- Fixr’s patio table is dated Aug 19, 2022 and is labeled as older data.
- HomeGuide assumes an existing, level, well-draining base; grading and a new base are extra.
- Concrete tear-out uses three-guide medians (HomeGuide, Angi, ConcreteCalculate). Paver tear-out uses two guides only (HomeGuide $1–$5 and Angi $2–$6; typical $3.50/sf) and is labeled as a two-source add-on.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 12 × 16 concrete patio cost?
About $2,208 installed for a plain poured slab, using the $11.50 per sq ft median of HomeGuide, Fixr and Concrete Network. Stamped work, pavers and stone are higher.
What is the typical installed price of a paver patio per square foot?
The median of HomeGuide, Angi and Fixr is $16.50 per sq ft, with those guides’ central values running from $13.50 to $17.50.
Why is Angi left out of the poured-concrete typical price?
Angi published $3–$8 per sq ft for both poured and stamped concrete, which is inconsistent internally and well below the other installed-price guides. The figure is discussed in the article rather than averaged in.
Does this page count the pavers and the gravel base?
No. It prices an installed patio from published cost guides. For paver units, bedding sand and compacted base, use the paver calculator.
