The formula

Tons = (Length ft × Width ft × Depth ft ÷ 27) × 1.45 tons/yd³

Example: A 40 ft × 12 ft driveway at 4 in deep = 5.93 yd³ ≈ 8.6 tons of millings.

How it works

  1. 1Calculate the volume in cubic yards (area × depth ÷ 27).
  2. 2Multiply by ~1.45 to convert cubic yards to tons for asphalt millings.
  3. 3Suppliers usually sell by the ton, so order by weight.

Frequently asked questions

How much do asphalt millings weigh per yard?

Recycled asphalt millings weigh roughly 1.4–1.5 tons per cubic yard, similar to crushed stone. We use 1.45 tons per yard. They compact tightly once rolled, so order a little extra for compaction.
