It depends on what loads you want to put on top of the concrete and what soil conditions you have under the concrete. Typically the minimum I would expect to see would be between 4 and 6 inches thick.

A foundation is a system to spread vertical loads to the ground.
Thus the foundation for a typical residential structure consists of a footing and stem wall.
Do you mean a typical footing for a stem wall?
