Paver calculator guide

This estimator uses the face dimensions of one paver to determine how many whole units cover a rectangular area. It does not account for joint width separately, so use the actual installed coverage supplied by the manufacturer when available.

Area = length × width Paver face area = paver length × paver width ÷ 144 Paver count = area ÷ paver face area Order count = ceiling(net count × (1 + waste ÷ 100))

Worked example

20 × 10 ft area with 12 × 6 in pavers

The area is 200 ft². Each paver covers 0.50 ft², giving 400 net pavers. With 10% cutting allowance, order about 440 pavers.

FAQ

Does this include joint gaps?

No. It uses the paver face dimensions as a simple coverage estimate. Pattern and joint width can change the actual quantity.

How much waste should I allow?

Simple layouts may need less; diagonal patterns, curves and many cuts generally require more. Confirm with the installer or supplier.
