About Asphalt Driveway Calculator
Area × thickness gives the compacted volume, and the standard 145 lb/ft³ density (editable) converts it to hot-mix tons. Add a price per ton for a quick material cost.
Common uses
- Estimate tonnage before calling paving contractors
- Price a 2 in overlay versus a full-depth 4 in repave
Example
Input
50 × 12 ft at 3 in, 10% waste, $120/ton
