Crushed Stone Calculator (Tons)
Tons of crushed stone / crusher run for a base or driveway lift from area and depth.
Angular crushed stone locks under compaction โ never substitute rounded pea gravel under slabs or pavers. Quarries sell by the ton; a tandem truck hauls 14โ18 t.
Formula
Crushed Stone Calculator (Tons) is a free crushed stone calculator for civil engineers, contractors and quantity surveyors โ instant, accurate and 100% client-side, with the governing formula and reference shown next to the result so the number can be defended, not just quoted.
About Crushed Stone Calculator (Tons)
Tons of crushed stone / crusher run for a base or driveway lift from area and depth. The calculation implements V = area ร depth; mass = V ร ฯ ร 1.10 (compaction/spill allowance) (NSSGA aggregate density data (~100 lb/ftยณ loose)). Angular crushed stone locks under compaction โ never substitute rounded pea gravel under slabs or pavers. Quarries sell by the ton; a tandem truck hauls 14โ18 t.
How to use Crushed Stone Calculator (Tons)

Frequently asked questions
What formula does the Crushed Stone Calculator (Tons) use?+
It computes V = area ร depth; mass = V ร ฯ ร 1.10 (compaction/spill allowance), per NSSGA aggregate density data (~100 lb/ftยณ loose). The formula is displayed under the result along with a worked example substituted with your own inputs.
What should I keep in mind when using this calculator?+
Angular crushed stone locks under compaction โ never substitute rounded pea gravel under slabs or pavers. Quarries sell by the ton; a tandem truck hauls 14โ18 t.
Does it include wastage?+
Yes โ standard wastage/bulking factors are built in and stated in the formula line, so the quantity is an orderable number, not a bare geometric volume.
Is the Crushed Stone Calculator (Tons) free to use?+
Yes โ completely free, no sign-up, no limits. It runs client-side in your browser, so inputs stay private and results are instant even on slow connections.
