Tonnage, compaction & delivery for reclaimed asphalt pavement
This is the thickness after compaction/rolling, not the loose as-spread depth.
Leave blank to skip. Typical tack/reactivation rates run 0.10–0.25 gal/yd² confirm with your emulsion manufacturer's spec sheet.
Leave blank to use the standard default: 120 lb/ft³ (≈1.62 tons/yd³).
Leave blank to use the standard default: 140 lb/ft³ (≈1.89 tons/yd³). Actual RAP density varies with crushing size and residual oil content.

Estimate Your Cost
RAP is often priced per loose cubic yard by recyclers rather than by weight — pick whichever basis matches your supplier's quote.
Delivery Truck Load Equivalents

Estimates are approximate. Actual RAP density varies with crushing size, compaction state, and residual oil content — confirm final quantities with your recycler or paving contractor before ordering.
This asphalt millings calculator from QuickTonnage also searched as an asphalt milling calculator or millings calculator asks a couple of questions a standard tonnage tool doesn't:
Your result shows tons and tonnes for both loose and compacted volume, plus truckload equivalents by axle type.
What are millings? Also called RAP reclaimed asphalt pavement millings are ground-up old asphalt reused as a lower-cost paving material instead of going to a landfill. Some people search for this same material as a crushed asphalt calculator or recycled asphalt calculator query RAP, crushed asphalt, and recycled asphalt all mean the same thing.
Asphalt milling cost typically runs well below virgin hot-mix. Asphalt milling price sometimes quoted as asphalt millings cost per ton depends on your region and hauling distance. Enter your local cost of asphalt millings per ton into the calculator above instead of relying on a national average.
Need fresh hot-mix asphalt instead of recycled material? Use the Asphalt Tonnage Calculator instead.
For loose material, roughly 1.2 to1.4 tons per cubic yard is typical; compacted RAP runs a bit heavier. This is exactly why the calculator asks whether you're measuring loose or compacted volume before it converts cubic yards of asphalt to tons.
You need thickness as the missing link tons of asphalt to square yards only works once depth and density are known, the same three-number relationship used everywhere else on this page.
A standard truckload covers roughly 800 sq ft at typical driveway thickness, though this shifts with your specific depth and truck capacity the calculator's dump-truck-load equivalent gives you the number for your exact job.
Millings price by the ton, and it varies by region and how far the material has to travel. Enter your local rate into the cost field above rather than relying on a flat "millings cost" figure pulled from another state.
It depends on whether you're measuring loose or compacted material loose RAP weighs less per cubic yard than the same material after it's been rolled or plate-compacted, which is exactly the distinction this calculator asks you to make upfront.
