Crack Seal Calculator

Geometry drives the number

Crack sealant is a volume estimate. The tool takes the average width and fill depth, multiplies by the total linear feet to get cubic volume, and converts to weight using the product density. It adds a waste factor for wide, irregular, and deep cracks, then divides by box weight for an approximate box count and by your crew production rate for a labor day range.

Inputs it uses

• Total linear feet of cracks to be sealed.
• Average width and fill depth, which drive the volume.
• Product density, box weight, waste factor, and crew production.

Limitations

This is a planning estimate. Actual yield varies with crack geometry, routing, temperature, and application. Confirm the material with the product data sheet and your crew, and measure a representative sample of cracks rather than guessing width.

How much crack filler do I need?

Estimate the average cross-section of the crack, multiply by the total linear feet to get volume, and convert to weight using the product density. Yield varies with width and depth.

Is crack sealing the same as sealcoating?

No. Crack sealing fills individual cracks with a flexible material. Sealcoating is a thin coating over the whole surface. Crack sealing usually comes first.
