well, you need to choose a purpose for the pad and a size to fit that purpose. Choose your pad thickness based on that purpose as well. ususally pad thicknesses do not drop below 4" due to pad cracking problems and pooring ease. Remember that pooring a pad may require other costs like rebar and forms. forms are made from simple wood to large plate steel depending on application. Just think of the costs for all of this and that is your estimate
