To estimate blacktop tons needed, multiply the volume by the density of blacktop. For example, 1 cubic meter of blacktop weighs about 2.3 metric tons. For a typical project, one ton of blacktop covers about 80 square feet at 2 inches thick.
Blacktop volume is calculated by multiplying the area (length × width) by the thickness. For metric units: Volume (m³) = Area (m²) × Thickness (cm) ÷ 100. For imperial units: Volume (yd³) = Area (ft²) × Thickness (in) ÷ 36.
The typical density of hot mix blacktop is approximately 2322 kg/m³ (145 lb/ft³). However, this can vary based on the specific mix design and aggregate used. Blacktop and asphalt are often used interchangeably, with blacktop specifically referring to the dark pavement material used for roads and driveways.
The cost is a rough estimate based on your input and does not include taxes, labor, or local variations.
Yes, this calculator is ideal for estimating blacktop needed for driveways, roads, parking lots, and other flat surfaces.
