Compacted thickness matters
Use the finished compacted thickness, not an uncompacted loose-lift measurement.

Asphalt Calculator
Estimate asphalt tonnage for driveways, parking areas and paving work from compacted thickness and editable material density.
Area + volumeEditable densityTons + cost
Enter the paved area
Enter compacted thickness. Tonnage uses an editable compacted-density assumption.
Optional cost
Mix design, compaction target, lift thickness and plant/supplier factors can change actual tons. Use project or supplier density when available.
Density drives tonnage
This calculator starts at 145 lb/ft³ as a planning assumption, but the editable field should match the specified mix when known.
Plan separate lifts
Base and surface courses may use different mixes, thicknesses and tonnage calculations.
