How it works
The calculator divides project area by the face area of one paver, applies the waste percentage, and rounds up to a whole paver.
pavers = ceil(project area ÷ paver area × (1 + waste %))Worked example
A 12 ft × 10 ft area is 120 ft². With 12 in × 12 in pavers and 5% waste, the estimate is 126 pavers.
Assumptions
- Pavers are rectangular and the entered dimensions are their installed face dimensions.
- Waste is applied to the calculated paver count before rounding up.
Limitations
- This is an area-based estimate; patterns, borders, joint widths and complex edge cuts can change the final quantity.
