Asphalt Price Per Yard
Asphalt is usually easier to price by ton, but cubic yards are useful when you are thinking in volume. Use this page to convert yards into tons before comparing supplier or contractor prices.
Quick rule
One cubic yard of asphalt is roughly 2 tons at common planning density.

Estimate only
Mix type and compaction can change the actual weight per cubic yard.
Simple conversion
Estimated tons = cubic yards × 2.
Estimated price per ton = price per cubic yard ÷ 2.
This is good for early planning, but a real supplier quote should confirm the mix, truck minimum, density, and whether the number includes delivery.
