Asphalt Calculator
Calculate the amount of asphalt needed for your driveway, parking lot, or road project. Estimate costs based on area, thickness, and local asphalt prices.
Step 1: Project Dimensions
Understanding Asphalt Thickness
For residential driveways, 2-4 inches is typical. Parking lots need 3-6 inches, while roads require 4-8 inches. Thicker asphalt lasts longer but costs more.
Step 2: Material & Cost Details
About Asphalt Pricing
Asphalt prices vary by region, season, and oil prices. Hot-mix asphalt typically costs $100-$200 per ton. Labor adds $50-$150 per ton installed. Always get local quotes for accurate pricing.

Asphalt Calculation Formula
Asphalt (tons) = (Area × Thickness × Density) / 2000
Asphalt needs are calculated based on area, thickness, and density. Standard asphalt weighs about 145 pounds per cubic foot. Always include a waste factor (typically 10%) for cutting and irregular areas.
