How Asphalt Calculators Work
Our free online asphalt calculator uses a simple formula:
-
- Area Calculation: Length (ft) × Width (ft) = Square Footage
-
- Volume Conversion: Area × Depth (in inches converted to feet) = Cubic Feet
- Weight Conversion: Volume × 145 lbs/cu ft (standard density) ÷ 2000 = Tons
Types of Asphalt Projects
Our calculator works for all common paving projects:
- Residential Driveways (typically 2-3 inches thick)
- Parking Lots (3-4 inches for standard vehicles)

Tips for Accurate Calculations
- Always add 5-10% extra to account for compaction and waste
