SIMPLE MODEasphalt millings calculator
Asphalt Millings Calculator
Estimate how many tons of asphalt millings a project or pile contains. Enter pad dimensions (length, width, depth) or a pile’s height and base circumference; the calculator converts volume to tons using a typical loose density of 1.9 t/m³, in cubic yards or cubic metres.
Estimate from idealized geometry and typical loose bulk densities. Not a certified survey. Not for trade measurement. Always verify densities with site measurements.

Questions this calculator gets asked
How many tons is a cubic yard of asphalt millings?
At a typical loose density of 1.9 t/m³, one cubic yard (0.765 m³) weighs about 1.45 tonnes — roughly 1.6 short tons. Milled asphalt varies with moisture and grading, so verify against a scale ticket before ordering.
Loose or compacted — which density should I use?
Loose millings off the mill run around 1.9 t/m³; compacted base courses approach hot-mix densities near 2.3 t/m³. This calculator defaults to loose — for a compacted lift, switch the material to Custom and enter your target density.
