Most aggregate material compacts to 90% for a road base, losing from 18 - 27% of its initial (loose) volume. So, in terms of thickness, count on having the initial spread of the material being about 25% thicker than you want the final compacted thickness to be.

However, this may depend on the particular aggregate you are putting down. Your supplier may be able to supply you with more accurate information, and should have good experience in this area related to their product(s).
