Hot mix is ordered by the ton. This uses the industry-standard 145 pounds per cubic foot of compacted mix. Driveways typically get 2 to 3 inches compacted over a proper base.
Pro habit: Order about 4 tons; handwork edges and transitions always take more than the rectangle math.
Depth here is the compacted depth. The paver lays it thicker and rolls it down roughly 25 percent, and your plant's mix design changes the exact weight. Weights are common industry approximations; confirm with your supplier before ordering.

Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. This asphalt calculator does it for you: enter length and width in feet and depth in inches, and it returns cubic yards, estimated tons. Add about 10 percent for compaction, spillage, and uneven grade.
Asphalt runs roughly 1.96 tons per cubic yard as a common industry approximation (Hot mix asphalt (compacted) at about 3,915 lb/yd³). Moisture and material change this, so confirm the exact conversion with your supplier.
