Asphalt Calculator

How Much Asphalt Do You Need?

If you’re planning a driveway, parking lot, or road project, accurately estimating the amount of asphalt required is essential. Our Asphalt Calculator helps you determine the exact tonnage or cubic yards of asphalt needed, saving time and reducing material waste.

How to Use the Asphalt Calculator?

Simply enter the length, width, and thickness of the area you’re paving. The calculator will provide an estimate of the asphalt volume required in tons or cubic yards.

Factors That Affect Asphalt Quantity

• Thickness of the pavement: A thicker layer requires more material.
• Compaction rate: Asphalt compacts when rolled, reducing its initial volume.
• Type of project: Residential driveways typically require less asphalt than heavy-duty commercial lots.

FAQs About Asphalt Calculation

✅ How do I convert tons to cubic yards? – Typically, 1 ton of asphalt is approximately 0.5 cubic yards, depending on density.
✅ How much does asphalt weigh per cubic yard? – Asphalt weighs around 2,000 to 2,400 kg per cubic yard.
✅ How much does a ton of asphalt cover? – A ton of asphalt covers around 80 to 100 square feet at 2 inches thick.

🔹 Tip: Always order slightly more than needed to account for compaction and minor calculation errors.
