How the calculation works
We use 145.2 lb/ft³ FHWA planning value.
Formula: rounded asphalt tons × local price per ton + delivery + fixed fees
Worked example
At $120 per ton, a 4.0-ton order plus $85 delivery and $25 fees totals $590.
Price the compacted quantity
Enter finished paving dimensions and the supplier's current per-ton quote for the specified mix.
What the estimate includes
The total combines rounded material tons, price per ton, delivery, and optional fixed fees. It excludes labor, base preparation, permits, taxes, demolition, and drainage work.
Frequently asked questions
What costs are included?
The estimate includes calculated material, entered delivery, and entered fixed fees only.
Why use rounded tons for price?
Suppliers bill purchasable quantities rather than an unrounded mathematical weight.
Sources and assumptions
FHWA hot-mix unit weight supports tonnage; prices and fees must come from local quotes.
