Planning a new asphalt driveway or resurfacing project? Use our free online Asphalt Driveway Tonnage & Cost Estimator to accurately calculate the material needed and its estimated cost. Get precise figures for your paving budget now!
Formula:
To accurately estimate your asphalt needs and total material cost, we utilize the following formulas:
1. Volume (Cubic Feet):V = L × W × (Tin / 12)
2. Weight (Pounds):Wt = V × D
3. Tonnage (Tons):T = Wt / 2000
4. Total Material Cost ($):Cost = T × P
Where:
- L = Driveway Length (feet)
- W = Driveway Width (feet)
- Tin = Asphalt Thickness (inches)
- D = Asphalt Density (lbs/ft³) (typically 145 lbs/ft³ for compacted asphalt)
- P = Price per Ton of Asphalt ($)
- 2000 = Conversion factor from pounds to tons
