No hidden assumptions. Inputs, units and the working stay visible so you can check the calculation.

Unit system Area input Length (ft) Width (ft) Finished compacted thickness (in) Compacted density (lb/cu ft) Replace with the project or supplier density.Truck usable payload (short tons, optional) Material price per short ton (optional) Order allowance (%) Optional loose-volume uplift (%) Keep at 0 unless you have a project-specific loose-volume planning factor.

Calculated result

15.225 short tons to order

800 sq ft area · 200 cu ft / 7.407 cu yd compacted volume

14.5 short tons base mass · 13.812 metric tonnes after allowance

Loose-volume uplift skipped.

1 whole truckload at 16 short tons usable payload

Material cost skipped.

1. Compacted volume = 800 sq ft × 0.25 ft = 200 cu ft.
2. Base mass = 200 × 145 lb/cu ft = 29,000 lb = 14.5 short tons.
3. Order mass = 14.5 × 1.05 = 15.225 short tons.

Compacted-quantity estimator only. Density and finished thickness must come from the project/mix basis; this calculator does not design pavement structure or select an asphalt mix.
