Gravel is cheapest but needs upkeep; asphalt is the common budget pavement; concrete lasts longer for more money; pavers are the premium choice. Thickness, base prep and grading affect cost.
How it’s calculated & sources
Cost = area (length × width) × installed per-sq-ft rate for the material. Estimates are then scaled by a regional construction-cost factor for your area (U.S. average = 1.00).
Cost ranges from 2025–26 national home-improvement data (HomeAdvisor, Angi, Fixr and industry guides); regional factors approximate RS Means-style city cost indices. Typical driveway \u2248 $2,300\u2013$7,500 \u2014 gravel $1\u20134, asphalt $6\u201312, concrete $10\u201315, pavers $18\u201325 per sq ft.
Results update as you type and are estimates, not a quote — site conditions, permits, and finishes move the final number. Verify with local pros.
Worked example
A 40×16 asphalt driveway (640 sq ft) runs about $5,760 nationally (~$9/sq ft).
