Enter the total parking lot area (ft^2) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Parking Lot Salt. 

Parking Lot Salt Formula

PLS = A / 1000 * 2.3

Variables:

  • PLS is the Parking Lot Salt (lbs)
  • A is the total parking lot area (ft^2)

To calculate Parking Lot Salt, divide the parking lot area by 1000 then multiply by 2.3.

How to Calculate Parking Lot Salt?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Parking Lot Salt.


  • First, determine the total parking lot area (ft^2). 
  • Next, gather the formula from above = PLS = A / 1000 * 2.3.
  • Finally, calculate the Parking Lot Salt.
  • After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
