Asphalt Calculator

What are you measuring?

A rectangular driveway, path or paved area.

Units

Your measurements

Length

Width

Compacted depth

Mix density

lb/ft³

Use the density from the asphalt supplier or mix design when available.

Adjust estimate

Waste, compaction, density and price. Sensible defaults are already applied, and whatever is in use is listed under the result.

Waste allowance

Optional extra material for irregular edges and handling. Use zero to keep the result at measured volume.

Result

You need about 18.1 US tons of asphalt, or 9.26 cubic yards by volume.

Based on: 1,000 ft² paved area · 3 in compacted depth · 145 lb/ft³ mix density · 0% waste

Area and volume are geometry. Tonnage depends on the entered density of the asphalt mix.
Use compacted lift depth and confirm the supplier density, order increment and delivery minimum.
