110 lb per SY per inch is the usual planning number (range 108–120). Use your plant's mix-design figure when you have it. No waste unless you enter it.

  1. Area
    length × width ÷ 9 = SY
    60' 0" × 12' 0" ÷ 9 SF = 80.00
  2. Tons
    SY × 110 lb per SY per inch × inches ÷ 2,000
    80.00 × 110 × 2" ÷ 2,000 = 8.80

Where the numbers come from

  • Asphalt weight: 110 lb per SY per inch compacted (= 146.7 lb/ft³) — typical range 108–120"Constructing Quality Asphalt Pavements" checklist (2025 edition, Penn State / PA Asphalt Pavement Association): 108–120 lb/SY/in, depending on aggregate specific gravity, binder content and in-place density. Tennessee DOT (IB 16-16, https://www.tdot.tn.gov/PublicDocuments/DesignDivision/assistant_engineer_design/design/DGpdf/IB_16_16.pdf) uses the same method with 103–115 for dense mixes and 88 for open-graded friction course. Use the mix design (JMF) number when you have it.Source
