How it's calculated
No black boxes — here is the exact math behind your estimate, so you can check it or adapt it for your own quote.
- 1
Cubic yards = (length × width × thickness ÷ 12) ÷ 27 - 2
Tons = cubic yards × 1.96 (compacted hot-mix asphalt density) - 3
Cost = tons × price per ton
Worked example
A 40 ft × 12 ft driveway paved 3 inches thick.
