For a conventional slab, 3 1/2". If you go 3 1/2" on a post tension slab (and some builders do...) the tops of the cables will be just below the top of the surface and surface cracks will form above the cables. I have even seen where the power screed will cut into the black cable cover.

Since most flat slabs contain reinforcing steel, the minimum would be the thickness required to cover the steel, generally 2" top and bottom.
