Use this asphalt calculator to easily estimate the total cost of your asphalt paving project.
How To Use The Asphalt Calculator
Fill in the length, width, and depth of the area you want to pave in feet and inches. Enter the cost per ton of asphalt. Click on the “Calculate” button to see the total cost of asphalt needed for your project.
How It Works
This calculator determines the amount and cost of asphalt required for a project. It calculates the volume of asphalt needed in cubic feet and then converts it to tons, given the standard asphalt density of approximately 145 pounds per cubic foot (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 3,915 pounds). The total cost is then calculated based on the cost per ton of asphalt provided.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate and does not replace professional advice. Variations in material density and transport costs are not considered. Ensure all inputs are provided in correct units to get an accurate estimate.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate Price Based on Surface Area
Enter the length and width of the area you want to pave to get an accurate estimate of the total cost. Our calculator will instantly calculate the amount of asphalt needed and the cost based on the surface area you provide.
Customize Cost per Square Foot
You have the option to input your desired cost per square foot for the asphalt. Whether you have a specific budget or want to explore different pricing options, you can easily adjust the cost to fit your needs and preferences.
Account for Thickness and Density
Specify the thickness and density of the asphalt to get a more precise calculation of the total cost. This customization allows you to accurately estimate the material requirements and costs based on the specific project requirements.
Incorporate Waste Factor
Add a waste factor percentage to the calculation to account for any material that may be lost during the paving process. By including a waste factor, you can ensure that you have enough asphalt for the job while keeping the cost estimate realistic.
Compare Different Asphalt Types
Explore various types of asphalt mixtures and their corresponding costs by inputting different material options into the calculator. Easily compare the prices of different asphalt types to make an informed decision based on your project requirements and budget.
Factor in Labor Costs
Include labor costs in the overall estimate by inputting the per-hour labor rate and estimated time needed for the project. This feature enables you to get a comprehensive understanding of the total project cost, including both material and labor expenses.
