How the Calculator Works
The calculator computes the total cost of installing an asphalt driveway taking into account both material and labor costs. Here is a breakdown of the calculations:
- Volume: The calculator first computes the volume of the asphalt required in cubic yards.
- Material Cost: The volume is then multiplied by the cost per cubic yard of the material.
- Labor Cost: The surface area of the driveway is computed in square feet and then multiplied by the labor cost per square foot.
- Total Cost: The total cost is calculated as the sum of the material cost and labor cost.
