Asphalt calculator

Tons of hot-mix for a drive or a patch.

How it is worked out

area × (thickness ÷ 12) × 145 lb/ft³ ÷ 2000 = tons

What it assumes

145 lb per cubic foot is compacted hot-mix. Your plant's mix design may differ slightly.
2 in compacted is a typical residential drive surface over a proper base.

Nothing on this page is a demo of the real thing — it runs the identical code. What a TradeForge account adds is everywhere the number then goes: saved against the job it belongs to, dropped straight onto a quote, and priced at a rate built from your own overhead instead of a guess.
