Gravel Driveway Calculator Calculate the amount of gravel needed for a driveway in tons and cubic yards. — free online calculator.

Formula

Volume (cu yd) = L × W × D(ft) ÷ 27; Tons = cu yd × 1.4
  • Gravel Driveway Calculator calculates its result from D Ft, Length, Width, Cu Yd. It uses the formula Volume (cu yd) = L × W × D(ft) ÷ 27; Tons = cu yd × 1.4. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are Driveway Length, Driveway Width, Gravel Depth. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Gravel Driveway

Inputs
  • Driveway Length: 50
  • Driveway Width: 12
  • Gravel Depth: 6

Using D Ft = 2, Length = 3, Width = 4, Cu Yd = 5, the calculated result is 7.
