This asphalt calculator converts a rectangle and a compacted depth into tons. Use your price per ton when you want an asphalt driveway cost calculator. Labor, milling, and tack coat are not included.
Asphalt to order
2.75tons
Planning estimate from the numbers you enter. Coverage, density, waste and price are assumptions, not a supplier quote or an engineering specification.
How it works
Hot-mix asphalt is ordered by the ton. The planning density here is 2.025 tons per cubic yard, equal to 150 pounds per cubic foot. At a 2-inch thickness that density covers 80 square feet per ton. Change the depth and the coverage line changes, because a 3-inch mat uses more tons than a 2-inch mat on the same footprint. The depth should be the compacted thickness you want, not the loose thickness in the paver.
Formula
Cubic yards come from area and depth. Order tons add waste. An asphalt driveway cost calculator figure is order tons times your price per ton. The same dollars are a driveway cost calculator for an asphalt drive. The 80-square-foot rule is the 2-inch case of this formula, not a separate guess.
Example
The area is 200 square feet. In-place weight is 2.50 tons, which is 80 square feet per ton. With 10% waste, order 2.75 tons. At $100 per ton the material is $275.00.
Tips
Base stone under the asphalt is a gravel order, not an asphalt ton. Edges, drains, and a milled butt joint add area or waste. Plants sell mix by the ton and may have a minimum that this page does not know.
Equipment
Paving contractors finance pavers, rollers, and skid steers. Dengaro takes equipment applications from $15,000 to $2 million. The button names a paver or skid steer. It does not turn the tonnage into a loan amount.
Important questions
You type the price per ton. The cost line multiplies that by the tons to order, including waste. It is not a bid and it does not include the crew or the base.
It is 150 pounds per cubic foot converted to tons per yard. At 2 inches it matches the common 80 square feet per ton planning figure. Use a different density if the mix design gives you one.
No. Estimate the stone on the gravel calculator and the mix here. Adding the two costs is up to you. They are different materials.
This page does not show an interest rate. If you continue to an equipment application, any payment there is still subject to a financing provider's review. Dengaro is a broker, not the lender.
