Formula

Tons = Length × Width × Thickness × 145 lb/ft³ ÷ 2000

Variables

  • 145 lb/ft³Typical compacted asphalt density

Explanation

Asphalt is sold by weight; volume is converted using its typical density.

            Understanding Asphalt

            Asphalt tonnage needed for a driveway or lot. Within construction calculators, asphalt belongs to the concrete & masonry cluster, where it shares terminology and assumptions with closely related tools.

            Learning how asphalt is calculated

            Asphalt is sold by weight; volume is converted using its typical density. Working through the variables one at a time — 145 lb/ft³ — makes the result reproducible by hand and easier to sanity-check.

            Using asphalt to make a decision

            Because outputs depend on the assumptions you enter, run more than one scenario before committing to a figure.

            How asphalt compares with related measures

            cubic yard, subgrade, cure time, compressive strength all describe adjacent aspects of concrete & masonry. Comparing this calculator's output against those measures — using the related tools listed on this page — prevents a single metric from being read in isolation.
