Asphalt costs vary by location, project size, and current market prices. Our calculator provides estimates based on average pricing, but always get quotes from local suppliers for accurate costs.
One ton of asphalt typically covers 80 square feet at 2 inches thick, or 40 square feet at 4 inches thick. Coverage depends on the thickness and compaction of the asphalt.
Most residential driveways need 2-3 inches of asphalt thickness. For areas with heavy vehicles or commercial use, 4-6 inches is recommended.
Asphalt weighs approximately 145 pounds per cubic foot. To convert: (Length × Width × Thickness in feet) × 145 ÷ 2000 = Tons needed.
To convert cubic feet (CF) to tons of asphalt: Multiply your cubic feet by 145 (weight per cubic foot), then divide by 2000 (pounds per ton). Formula: CF × 145 ÷ 2000 = Tons of asphalt needed.
Yes, always add 5-10% extra material to account for waste, compaction, and minor measurement variations. This ensures you have enough material to complete your project.
