1. Measure driveway area
Measure length × width in feet. Divide curved driveways into segments.
Paving area workspace
Enter driveway dimensions to calculate paving area in square feet. Estimate concrete, asphalt, or paver material costs for your project.
Use the Driveway Square Foot Calculator to measure your driveway area for concrete, asphalt, or paver projects. Enter length and width for rectangular driveways, or use circle and trapezoid shapes for curved and tapered sections. Get instant results in square feet with material cost estimation.
Choose a specialized calculator for your exact project — rooms, shapes, materials, outdoor areas, and unit conversions.
Driveway square footage is the total paved area. Multiply length × width in feet. A standard 2-car driveway is 16-20 ft wide × 20-30 ft long (320-600 sq ft). For the concrete pour, use the concrete calculator; for gravel cover, the stone calculator.
Getting started
To calculate driveway square footage, measure length × width in feet. For curved driveways, divide into segments. Choose surface: concrete (4 in depth), asphalt (3-4 in), gravel (4-6 in), or pavers. Multiply area × depth ÷ 27 for cubic yards on poured surfaces.
Measure length × width in feet. Divide curved driveways into segments.
Concrete, asphalt, gravel, pavers, or stamped concrete.
Multiply area × depth (in feet) ÷ 27 for cubic yards.

FAQ
Measure the driveway length and width in feet, then multiply them together. A driveway 40 feet long and 12 feet wide is 480 square feet. For curved or tapered driveways, use the trapezoid or circle calculator option.
A typical single-car driveway is 200 to 480 square feet (10-12 ft wide × 20-40 ft long). A double-wide driveway is 400 to 960 square feet (20-24 ft wide × 20-40 ft long).
Concrete driveway installation costs $4 to $8 per square foot on average, including materials and labor. Stamped or colored concrete costs $8 to $18 per square foot. Enter your price per square foot in the calculator to estimate total cost.
For a circular turnaround, use the circle calculator with the diameter. For a curved section, approximate the shape as a trapezoid by measuring the two parallel widths and the length. For complex curves, split into sections and add the areas.
A standard residential concrete driveway should be 4 inches thick. For heavy vehicles or RVs, increase to 5-6 inches. The thickness affects the volume of concrete needed but not the square footage calculation.
Calculate the driveway area in square feet using length × width. Asphalt costs $3 to $6 per square foot installed. A 480 sq ft driveway would cost $1,440 to $2,880 for asphalt paving.
