Asphalt Tonnage Calculator
Calculate how much asphalt you need for your paving project with our comprehensive calculator. Determine optimal asphalt tonnage based on area, thickness, and density specifications.
Step 1: Project Specifications
Understanding Asphalt Thickness
Typical asphalt thickness ranges from 25mm for light traffic areas to 150mm for heavy-duty roads. Residential driveways usually require 50-75mm thickness.
Step 2: Asphalt Properties
About Asphalt Density
Asphalt density varies based on mix design and aggregate type. Standard hot mix asphalt typically has a density of 2200-2400 kg/m³. Higher density mixes provide better durability.

Tonnage Calculation Formula
Tonnes = (Area × Thickness/1000 × Density × (1 + Wastage/100) × Compaction/100) / 1000
To calculate asphalt tonnage: Multiply area by thickness (converted to meters), then by density, wastage factor, and compaction factor. Divide by 1000 to convert kg to tonnes.
