Estimate compacted asphalt volume, weight, short tons, metric tonnes, dynamic coverage, extra material, loose-volume information, and optional material cost.
Area and final compacted depth produce compacted volume. Editable compacted density converts that volume to mass.
Extra material is applied once to volume and mass after all geometry. Optional loose-volume factor changes only the informational loose volume; mass is not multiplied again.
area = length × widtharea = π × (diameter ÷ 2)²area × compacted depth × quantitycompacted volume × compacted densitybase quantity × (1 + extra % ÷ 100)mass per ton ÷ density ÷ compacted depthA 50 × 20 ft driveway at 3 in depth has 250 ft³ compacted volume. At 145 lb/ft³ it weighs 36,250 lb or 18.125 short tons; with 5% extra, 19.031 short tons.
For 2,000 ft² at 2 in depth, the implementation converts area and depth before applying the selected density and extra allowance.
A 500 m² area at 50 mm depth has 25 m³ volume. At 2,300 kg/m³ it weighs 57.5 tonnes; with 5% extra, 60.375 tonnes.
Enter final compacted asphalt depth, not loose lift depth.
The 145 lb/ft³ example is editable; confirm mix density with the supplier or project specification.
Coverage per ton is calculated from the selected density and depth rather than a universal lookup.
Mix design, aggregate, binder, temperature, and achieved compaction affect density. The calculator normalizes lb/ft³ or kg/m³ to kg/m³.
A US short ton is 2,000 lb. A metric tonne is 1,000 kg; results label both explicitly.
Optional loose-volume mode multiplies recommended compacted volume by an editable factor for information only. With compacted density, calculated mass is conserved and is not multiplied by that factor.
US pricing uses recommended short tons; metric pricing uses recommended metric tonnes. Delivery, trucking, labor, equipment, preparation, grading, disposal, and taxes are excluded.
Calculate area times compacted depth, multiply by compacted density, and add the selected allowance.
Compacted volume is multiplied by density and converted to short tons or metric tonnes.
It depends on density; this calculator derives weight from your editable density.
Weight varies by mix and compaction; use supplier density when available.
Enter the compacted density for the actual mix. The default is an approximate example only.
At fixed area and density, volume and tonnage increase directly with depth.
Coverage is calculated dynamically from selected depth and density.
A short ton is 2,000 lb; a metric tonne is 1,000 kg.
Project conditions vary; choose the editable allowance suitable for planning.
Depth and density are treated as compacted values. Optional loose volume is informational and does not change mass.
No. Optional cost is asphalt material only.
