Asphalt tonnage for a driveway, path or patch.
Surface area, compacted thickness, density, waste and delivery unit.
Cubic volume, estimated tons and a practical order range.
Compaction, temperature, mix density, base condition and supplier minimums require confirmation.
See the estimated project quantity from your measurements.
Add waste and round to complete bags, boxes, cans, bundles or delivery quantities.
Review product coverage, site conditions, local requirements and supplier details before ordering.
Estimate asphalt volume and approximate short tons for driveways, paths and paving areas.
Asphalt is often specified by compacted thickness and purchased by weight. Start with the finished area and compacted depth, then use the supplier's mix density for a closer tonnage estimate.
The default 145 lb/ft³ is a planning value near the range often used for hot-mix asphalt estimates. Actual density varies by mix, aggregate and compaction. Replace it with the supplier's value when available.
A 50 × 12 ft area at 2 in compacted thickness is 1,200 ft² and about 200 ft³ before allowance. The final tonnage depends on the selected density.
The input is explicitly labeled compacted thickness. Do not add a second hidden compaction factor unless your paving supplier tells you to.
It can provide an early quantity estimate for simple rectangular areas, but road projects normally require a detailed paving takeoff and engineering review.
